find what fractional part the first number is of the second
15;30 18;40 12;28 50;60 thank,jessica
Just reduce each..15/30=1/2 and so on
12;28
what is 9;21
What is 18;40 reduced
12;28
To find the fractional part of the first number (numerator) in relation to the second number (denominator), you need to divide the first number by the second number.
Let's go through each example:
1. 15;30: To determine the fractional part of 15 in relation to 30, divide 15 by 30: 15/30 = 0.5. So, 15 is half (1/2) of 30.
2. 18;40: Divide 18 by 40: 18/40 = 0.45. Therefore, 18 is 45% (9/20) of 40.
3. 12;28: Divide 12 by 28: 12/28 = 0.4285 (rounded to four decimal places). Hence, 12 is approximately 42.85% (3/7) of 28.
4. 50;60: Divide 50 by 60: 50/60 = 0.8333 (rounded to four decimal places). Thus, 50 is approximately 83.33% (5/6) of 60.
Remember, to find the fractional part, you divide the first number by the second number.
