you have four $5.00 bills. You buy a shirt for $10.00 What fraction of money do you have left. Use equivalent fraction.
Renie gave each of six peopple 1/10 of pizza. Renie has 2/5 of the pizza left. Explain how this is true.
10/20 = 1/2
1 - 6/10 = 10/10 - 6/10 = 4/10 = 2/5
To find the fraction of money you have left, you need to determine the total amount of money you started with and then subtract the amount you spent.
You have four $5.00 bills, which means you initially had 4 x $5.00 = $20.00.
You spent $10.00 on the shirt, so to find how much money you have left, subtract $10.00 from your initial amount:
$20.00 - $10.00 = $10.00
Now, to express this amount as an equivalent fraction, we need to determine how many $5.00 bills are equivalent to the remaining $10.00.
Since each $5.00 bill is equivalent to $5.00, and you have a remaining amount of $10.00, you can divide $10.00 by $5.00 to find the number of $5.00 bills:
$10.00 รท $5.00 = 2
So, you have 2 remaining $5.00 bills.
To express this as a fraction, the numerator will be the number of remaining $5.00 bills (2), and the denominator will be the total number of $5.00 bills you initially had (4).
Therefore, the fraction of money you have left is 2/4.
However, this fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 2.
Dividing 2 by 2 yields 1, and dividing 4 by 2 yields 2. Thus, the simplified fraction is 1/2.
So, you have 1/2 of your initial money left after buying the shirt.
