Celeste completed 5/6
of her science problems. Her mom checked 2/3
of the assignment. What fraction of the assignment did her mom check?
5/9
1/3
5/4
16
/18
To find the fraction of the assignment that her mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems completed by Celeste (5/6) with the fraction of problems checked by her mom (2/3).
(5/6) * (2/3) = 10/18
Simplifying the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2.
10/18 = 5/9
Therefore, the fraction of the assignment checked by her mom is 5/9.
To find the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked, we need to multiply the fraction of problems Celeste completed by the fraction her mom checked.
Celeste completed 5/6 of the assignment.
Her mom checked 2/3 of Celeste's completed problems.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators separately.
(5/6) * (2/3) = (5 * 2) / (6 * 3) = 10/18.
However, we can simplify the fraction 10/18 to its simplest form.
To simplify a fraction, we find a common factor between the numerator (10) and the denominator (18), and divide both by that factor. In this case, the common factor is 2.
10 ÷ 2 = 5
18 ÷ 2 = 9
So, the simplified fraction is 5/9.
Therefore, the fraction of the assignment that Celeste's mom checked is 5/9.
