Answer:

You probably know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well.

Here's a little tip for you. Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:

56

1

So now that we've converted 56 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 7/8 side by side with our new fraction, 56/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:

7 x 56

8 x 1

=  

392

8

In this case, our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 392 and 8 is 8.

We can now divide both the new numerator and the denominator by 8 to simplify this fraction down to its lowest terms.

392/8 = 49

8/8 = 1

When we put that together, we can see that our complete answer is:

49

1

The complete and simplified answer to the question what is 7/8 of 56 is:

49

Hopefully this tutorial has helped you to understand how to find the fraction of any whole number. You can now go give it a go with more numbers to practice your newfound fraction skills.

A certain math teachers likes to keep a box of prizes to distribute to students. The math teacher likes to keep at least twice a
Law Incorporation [45]

Option C

Math teacher would need to buy 130 prizes

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Math teacher currently has 109 students and the box has 88 prizes in it

The math teacher likes to keep at least twice as many prizes in the box as she has students

So, she wants the number of prizes to be twice the number of students

Therefore,

number of prizes = 2 x 109 students

number of prizes = 2 x 109 = 218 prizes

The box has 88 prizes in it

Therefore, number of prizes she would need to buy is:

⇒ 218 - 88 = 130

Thus she would need to buy 130 prizes
