We are learning to find a fraction of a number
By Nikalai
What is a fraction?
A fraction is a part of a whole number. We use them all the time. For example: I cut the cake into 4 pieces. I ate 1 of the pieces so that means I have eaten ¼ of the cake. If I ate 3 pieces I would have eaten ¾ of the cake.
My Fraction Work
Example [⅓ of 24]
First divide 24 with 3 which = 8 then do 8 x 1 which = 8 and there is your answer.
Try this one:
What is ⅗ of 35? First you have to divide 35 by 5 which is 7. You then need to times 7 with the 3 which equals 21.
Therefore the answer is 21.
