fractions:

Fraction is a part of a whole, for example 1/2. Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show the same amount. Improper fractions have numerators that are higher than the denominator, while mixed fractions contain whole numbers and fractions.

In order to compare fractions, you need to change them so they have the same denominator. Fractions can be converted into decimals. You need to be able to work out a fraction of a given quantity.

Fractions of a quantity

How do we find 3/5 of 20?

Method 1 is to find 1/5 of 20, then multiply by 3.

1/5 of 20 is 20 ÷ 5 = 4.

We need 3/5 of 20, so we multiply 4 by 3.

3/5 of 20 = 4 × 3 = 12.

you can put this in your calculator:

3/5<span> × 20 = </span>3/5<span> × </span>20/1<span> = </span>60/5<span> = 12</span>

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like you've already found the y-intercept and slope of this graph. Great! That's all the info we need to create an equation.

The equation of a line is always in y = kx+b form, where k is the constant of proportionality (aka the slope) and b is the constant added (aka the y-intercept).

We know the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 3, so we can put these values into the equation.

y = 3x+3

Hope this helped!
