Question

There are 206 bones in the body. What fraction represents the number of bones in one hand (27) compared to the total number of bones in the body. Write an equivalent fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{27}{206}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of bones in one hand

y -----> the total number of bones in the body

we know that

The fraction that represents the number of bones in one hand compared to the total number of bones in the body, is equal to divide the number of bones in one hand by the total number of bones in the body,

we have

$x=27\ bones\\y=206\ bones$

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{27}{206}$
