hi, how are you i am in 5th grade and i want to ask you how i do this listen: matt had $40. he spent $10 on books and $14 on markers.what fraction of his money did he spent?
24/40 which can be simplified. Both can be divided bt 8.
24/40 / 8/8 = 3/5
write an equation for the problem situation using variables.julie has 5 more nickels than dimes.
First, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where it is more likely to be overlooked.
Number of nickels = Number of dimes + 5
Does that help?
Hello! I'm here to help you with your question.
To find the fraction of money Matt spent, you'll need to determine the total amount he spent and then convert it into a fraction of the total amount he had. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by calculating the total amount Matt spent. Add the amounts he spent on books and markers:
$10 (books) + $14 (markers) = $24
2. Now, compare the amount he spent with the total amount he had. Matt had $40, so you'll need to find the fraction equivalent of $24 out of $40.
3. To write this fraction, take the amount he spent ($24) and put it over the total amount he had ($40) in a fraction form:
$24/$40
4. Simplify this fraction if possible. In this case, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 8, because they are both divisible by 8:
$24 ÷ 8 = $3
$40 ÷ 8 = $5
The simplified fraction becomes:
$3/$5
Therefore, the fraction of money that Matt spent is 3/5.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
