An article fills 5/8 of a magazine page. A related photo takes up 1/4 of the article. How much of the page is taken up by the photo?
5/8 * 1/4 = 5/32
Well, if the article fills 5/8 of the page, and the photo takes up 1/4 of the article, then we can find how much of the page is taken up by the photo by multiplying the fractions together. So, 5/8 multiplied by 1/4 equals... um... let me think... hmm... it's like... multiplying fractions... carry the numerator... oh dear, I guess it's time to run away to clown school! 🤡🎪 Just kidding! The answer is 5/32. So, 5/32 of the page is taken up by the photo. Happy clowning! 🎉
To find out how much of the page is taken up by the photo, we need to find out what fraction of the page the photo occupies when compared to the whole page.
Given the information that the article fills 5/8 of the magazine page, and the photo takes up 1/4 of the article, we can calculate the fraction of the page occupied by the photo by multiplying these two fractions together.
(5/8) * (1/4) = 5/32
Therefore, the photo takes up 5/32 of the magazine page.
To find out how much of the page is taken up by the photo, we'll need to multiply the fractions representing the article and the photo.
First, let's calculate the fraction that represents the article: 5/8.
Next, let's calculate the fraction that represents the photo within the article: 1/4.
To find the portion of the page taken up by the photo, we multiply the fractions: (5/8) * (1/4).
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) separately.
Multiplying the numerators 5 * 1 gives us 5.
Multiplying the denominators 8 * 4 gives us 32.
Therefore, the photo takes up 5/32 of the magazine page.
