of the set of whole numbers from 0 to 9, what fraction are odd numbers?
A.1/9
B.1/10
C.5/10
D.9/10
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 = odd numbers
I know that but i do not really understand fractions so that's what i need help with.
OK.
First you have ten numbers, so the denominator of the fraction is 10.
There are 5 odd numbers in this set. That's the numerator.
Since 5 out of 10 numbers are odd, the fraction is 5/10.
thats what i thought but, i understood that the denominator was 9 so i got a lil confused.
THANK U
You're very welcome. Glad I could help you. :-)
To determine the fraction of odd numbers in the set of whole numbers from 0 to 9, we need to count how many odd numbers there are in the set and then express that count as a fraction of the total number of numbers in the set.
The whole numbers from 0 to 9 are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
The odd numbers in this set are: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
So, there are a total of 5 odd numbers.
The total number of numbers in the set is 10, as there are 10 whole numbers from 0 to 9.
Now, we can express the number of odd numbers (5) as a fraction of the total number of numbers (10).
Therefore, the fraction of odd numbers is 5/10.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/2.
So, the correct answer is C. 5/10.
