Mrs. Sese discover that 2/3 of 4/1/2 shades of kapok were not clean what part of kapok was not clean
Answer (1)
The part of kapok that was not clean was 3/1 or 3.To find 2/3 of 4 1/2, first let's convert it into improper fraction. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction, then add the numerator of the fraction to that result. [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]= 2 x 4 = 8=8+1 = 9= 9/2now we have 2/3 and 9/2. We just need to multiply them.[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times\frac{9}{2} = \frac{2 \times9}{3\times2} =\frac{18}{6}[/tex]Now we simplify by dividing them both by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor)[tex]\frac{18}{6} =\frac{18\div6}{6\div6} =\frac{3}{1}[/tex] or just 3Therefore, in the given problem, the answer is 3.In turn, we can also divide 4 1/2 by 3 and multiply them by 24 1/2 ÷ 3 is 1 1/21 1/2 x 2 is 3Therefore in the given problem, the answer is 3.We arrived at the same conclusion with different solutions.
