How do you convert a whole number to a fraction?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Maslowich2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.

5 = 5/1

Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.

5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2

***This can be reduced to 5/1***

Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.

Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.

5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3

***This can also be reduced to 5/1***

If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.

They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.

A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.

I hope this helps.

There were 90 runners just start a race in the first half of the race 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race 1/5
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6 runners finished the race

Step-by-step explanation:

it starts with 90 runners. then 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race, that means you do 90 divided by 3

90 ÷ 3 = 30

Then, 1/5 of the runners remained.

That means you do 30 divided by 5

30÷ 5= 6

so the answer is 6 remaining runners finished the race.

10. If possible, determine whether or not triangles LQP and LMN
natita [175]

Answer:

They are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths must be equal to each other.

This means that for ∆LQP and ∆LMN to be considered similar to each other, therefore:

LM/LQ = LN/LP

LM = 100

LQ = 12

LN = 75

LP = 9

LM/LQ = 100/12 = 25/3

LN/LP = 75/9 = 25/3

LM/LQ = LN/LP = 25/3, therefore ∆LQP and ∆LMN are similar to each other because the ratio of their corresponding side lengths are the same.
