You line up the decimal points so that similar place values are lined up. it will be easier to add them.
For this one a simple way that you can think of it is that 1 pound of banana is equivalent to 100, 3/4 pounds of banana is 75, 1/2 pounds of banana is 50, etc.
3 1/2 pounds of banana = 350
3/4 pounds of banana = 75
If i want to find out how many loafs of banana bread I can make if ONE loaf requires 3/4 pounds of banana, and i have 3 1/2 pounds of banana then I divide:
350 / 75 = 4.66
So, with 3 1/2 pounds of bananas you can successfully create 4 loafs of banana bread. the remaining .66 is not enough banana to make another loaf.
Yvonne ran up 12 flights of stairs.
Explanation:
Understand the situation:
Yvonne ran up 1/4 of the total stairs. Afterwards, she walked the REST of the stairs, which is said to be 9 STAIRS. HOW MANY flights of stairs IN TOTAL did she run up?
When she ran the REST of the stairs, it meant she ran the other 3/4 of stairs because:
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
To add someting, that means that the 9 stairs is 3/4 of the total stairs, so lets fins the total stairs using this information:
9 ÷ 3/4 = 12
LETS CHECK IF 9 IS REALLY 3/4 of 12:
12 x 3/4 = 9
