ISABEL WANTS A COAT THAT COAST $60. SHE HAS SAVED $42 . WHAT FRACTION OF THE AMOUNT SHE NEEDS TO SAVED.
Thank God I found my own answer l thanks its
21/30
42/60 = 7/10
SO SHE STILL NEEDS TO SAVE 3/10!!!!!!
Earlene wants a jacket that costs $60. she has saved $43. what fraction of the amount that she needs has saved
To find the fraction of the amount Isabel needs to save, we need to compare the amount she has saved to the total amount she needs to save.
First, let's calculate the difference between the cost of the coat and the amount Isabel has already saved:
Amount Isabel needs to save = Coat cost - Amount already saved
Amount Isabel needs to save = $60 - $42
Amount Isabel needs to save = $18
Now we know that Isabel needs to save $18 in total.
To find the fraction, we can express $18 as a fraction of the total cost of the coat, which is $60.
Fraction of the amount needed to be saved = Amount needed to be saved / Total cost of the coat
Fraction of the amount needed to be saved = $18 / $60
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6 in this case:
Fraction of the amount needed to be saved = ($18 ÷ 6) / ($60 ÷ 6)
Fraction of the amount needed to be saved = 3/10
Therefore, Isabel needs to save 3/10 of the total amount for the coat.
