Answer:

3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

A team of 7 construction workers worked together to build 3 sheds in 10 days. How much of a shed did each of them build?

Number of workers = 7

Number of sheds = 3

7 workers built 3 sheds

let

x = number of shed each worker built

Number of sheds = Number of workers × number of shed each worker built

3 = 7 * x

3 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

3 / 7 = 7x / 7

3/7 = x

x = 3/7

x = number of shed each worker built = 3/7

Mrs.Manning is making cookies for the bake sale. She jas 3/4 cup of flour and needs 1/3 cup of flour for her chocolate chip cook

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fraction of Portion</u>

Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.

For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.

Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{3}{4}}$

The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{4}{3}=\frac{1*4}{3*3}$

$\displaystyle =\frac{4}{9}$

The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
