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.

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: a) 8.779 years
b) 8.664 years
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)
- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year
- t: number of years
Given: A = 1800, P = 900, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 3, t = unknown
b)
Answer:
percentile rank of x =
number of values before x 100
--------------------------------------------------- x ----------
number of total values on the dot plot 1
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide the number of values before x over the number of total values on the dot plot, and divide the quotient by 100 to get your percentile.
Answer:
0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality function is as follows:
Let us assume the number of bananas acquired be b
And, the number of peaches acquired be p
Cost of each banana be $0.50
ANd, the cost of each peach be $1.50
Also the total would be $8
The possible values of banana is 0.5b
And, for peaches it would be 1.5p
So, the inequality function is
0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8
