6. Vangie had 0.75 ream of bond paper. She used 0.25 of it in her project. What part of the ream of paper did she use?
Please answer this question.\
To find the part of the ream of paper that Vangie used, you need to divide the amount of paper she used (0.25 ream) by the total amount of paper she had (0.75 ream).
The formula to find the part is:
Part = Amount used ÷ Total amount
Plugging in the values, we have:
Part = 0.25 ÷ 0.75
To simplify the division, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (to get rid of the decimal point):
Part = (0.25 × 100) ÷ (0.75 × 100)
Part = 25 ÷ 75
Since both the numerator and denominator share a common factor of 25, you can divide them both by 25:
Part = 1 ÷ 3
Therefore, Vangie used 1/3 of the ream of paper.
