Answer:
They would have to order 4 more uniforms in order to distribute an equal amount to each employee
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to calculate the number of maximum uniforms that can be given to each employee equally
For this we simply divide the number of uniforms by the number of employees and look only at the whole number
980/41 = 23.92 = 23
we don't round we just take the decimals
now we multiply the number of maximum uniforms that we can give each one by the number of employees
23 * 41 = 943
to the 980 uniforms we subtract the 943
980 - 943 = 37
Calculate how much is left to 37 to reach 41
41 - 37 = 4
This means that they would have to order 4 more uniforms in order to distribute an equal amount to each employee
What is the easiest way to divide whole numbers to fractions?
Just follow these two easy steps:
1. Multiply the whole number to the denominator of the fraction. In other words, the bottom number of the fraction will be multiplied to the whole number, like this:
12 ÷ 6/7 = n
<u> 6 </u>
7 x 12
You will have 6/ 84.
2. Simplify.
6 = 1, 2, 3, 6
84= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 42, 84
the GCF is 6. divide both numbers by 6, so the answer will be 1/14.
You can also get the reciprocal and proceed to multiplication , like this: (12/1 is the fractional form or the whole number 12.)
1/12 x 6/7=n
that makes 6/84 or 1/14.
The rational number would be 16
