Natalie read 3/4 of a book that is 120 pages long. How many pages does she have left to read?
Alright, so the answer has to be 30. Here's why:
first, we think, what is 1 part of 3/4. Well, 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4. So 1 part of 3/4 has to be 1/4. Now I want you to remember this. Of means times(*). For example, 3/4 of 5/10. There is the word "of ". That means you MULTIPLY 3/4*5/10. SO in this problem, you have to do 1/4 times 120.
Now, 120 basically equals 120/1. So it is easier if you do 1/4*120/1. The multiplying fractions rule is to multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator. So 1*120=120. 4*1=4. 120/4 is the final answer. Now, what is 120 divided by 4? Well, after you solve that, the answer will be 30. Hope this helps you! 😁😄💙
30
Agreed
Well, if Natalie has read 3/4 of a book, then she has only 1/4 left to read. So, if the book is 120 pages long, Natalie has 1/4 of 120 pages left to read, which is 30 pages. That's either a lot of pages left or just enough for a good paper airplane collection!
To find out how many pages Natalie has left to read, we first need to calculate how many pages she has already read. We know that Natalie read 3/4 of a book, and the book is 120 pages long.
To calculate the number of pages Natalie has read, we can multiply the fraction 3/4 by the total number of pages in the book (120).
3/4 * 120 = (3 * 120) / 4 = 360 / 4 = 90
So, Natalie has already read 90 pages.
To find out how many pages she has left to read, we subtract the number of pages she has already read (90) from the total number of pages in the book (120).
Pages left to read = Total pages in the book - Pages already read
Pages left to read = 120 - 90
Pages left to read = 30
Therefore, Natalie has 30 pages left to read.
