<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that at the county fair , 12% of the people who attended received free water bottles
1,500 people received free water bottles
To find: number of peoples went to fair
Let "a" be the number of peoples went to fair
From given information,
12% of the people who attended received free water bottles and 1,500 people received free water bottles
Which means 12% of total people is equal to 1500
12% of total people = 1500
12 % of "a" = 1500
Thus 12500 people went to fair

Answer:
- <em>convert </em>the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
- if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and <em>rewrite </em>the fractions with the same denominators
- subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
- convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.
Example
convert to improper fractions:
common denominator = 3 × 5 = 15, so:
subtract:
