Your math teacher wants to divide the remaining ¾ of the semester evenly by six different units. What fraction of the semester should be spent on each unit?
3/4 * 1/6 = 3/24 = 1/8
makes sense, since 3/4 = 6/8
To find out what fraction of the semester should be spent on each unit, we need to divide the remaining ¾ of the semester by 6 (the number of units).
1. Convert ¾ into a decimal:
¾ = 0.75
2. Divide 0.75 by 6:
0.75 ÷ 6 = 0.125
Therefore, each unit should account for 0.125 (or 12.5%) of the remaining ¾ of the semester.
To find the fraction of the semester that should be spent on each unit, we need to divide the remaining ¾ of the semester by 6, since there are six different units.
1. Start by converting ¾ into a decimal. To do this, divide 3 by 4: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75.
2. Now, divide 0.75 by 6: 0.75 ÷ 6 = 0.125.
Therefore, each unit should be assigned 0.125, which is equivalent to 1/8, of the remaining semester.
