Question

Joanne signed up for 24 dancing lessons she took 3/4 of the by April and 1/5 of them by May .What part of dancing lesson did she take?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Part = \frac{19}{20}$

$Lessons = 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$Dancing\ Lessons = 24$

$April = \frac{3}{4}$

$May = \frac{1}{5}$

Required:

Determine the part she took

To solve this, we simply add up the part she took in April and May.

$Part = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{5}$

Take LCM

$Part = \frac{15 + 4}{20}$

$Part = \frac{19}{20}$

Hence, she took $\frac{19}{20}$ of the dancing lesson.

However, to calculate the number of lesson.

We have to multiply $\frac{19}{20}$ by the total dancing lessons.

$Lessons = \frac{19}{20} * 24$

$Lessons = \frac{19* 24}{20}$

$Lessons = \frac{456}{20}$

$Lessons = 22.8$

$Lessons = 23$ ---- Approximated
