Answer 1

$250*12months=$3,000
$39,000/$3,000=13
So 1/13 of her yearly income is spent on entertainment.

Answer 2

Answer:           " $\frac{1}{3}$  " .

_________________________________________

         →   " $\frac{1}{3}$ "  of Abie's annual income is spent on

         entertainment.

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________________

Note the exact conversion; as follows:

_________________________________________

  " 12 months (mo)  =  1 year (yr) " .

_________________________________________

$\frac{250 dollars}{mo}* \frac{12 mo}{yr} * \frac{1 yr}{39,000 dollars}$ ;

The units cancel out; and we have:

   →    $\frac{(250 * 12 * 1)}{39,0000}$ ;

Cancel out the "1" in the "numerator" ;  

   →    {since:  "all other values in the numerator" ;  

                 multiplied by "1" ; equal "all other values in the numerator} ;

We have:

   

  →     $\frac{(250 * 12)}{(39,000)}$  ;

         =   $\frac{3,000}{39,000}$ ;

Cancel out 3 (three) zeros in the "numerator" ;  And:

Cancel out 3 (three) zeros in the "denominator" ;  

to get:

  →   $\frac{3}{39}$  ;  

Now, simplify this fraction; by dividing each side of the fraction by "3";

  →   $\frac{3}{39}$  ;

            =  (3÷3) / (39÷3) ;

            =  $\frac{1}{3}$ .
