How to work out fractions

Mathematics

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:

y=-3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is given by the equation y=mx+b, where m is defined as the slope and b is defined as the y-intercept (the value on the y-axis that the line crosses). First we can determine the slope by using the slope formula.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Keep in mind you can choose which point is (x1,y1) and which is (x2,y2) as long as you are consistent.

Plugging in for (-1,5) and (1,-1), you will get:

m=(-1-5)/(1-(-1))=-6/2=-3

Next, we need to find the y-intercept. For this problem, you can determine it is 2 by looking at the graph of the line. We now have both components to create the slope-intercept form.

m=-3, b=2

y=-3x+2
