Question

Please help I don’t understand what im supposed to do. My teacher said I have to put the whole number as a numerator and a 1 as the denominator (thought this would help to get my specific answer)

Answer 1

146 days.

Explanation:

In a recent year, the weather was partly cloudy 2/5 of the days.

We are given that the year had 365 days.

So 2/5 of these 365 days means;

we multiply 2/5 and 365 days:

2/5 × 365 (putting 365 as the numerator and 1 as the denominator still gives the same answer);

`(2)/(5)` ×
`(365)/(1)` =
`(2 * 365)/(5 * 1)`

That gives
`(730)/(5)` partially cloudy days.

Dividing that gives 146 partially cloudy days.

Answer 2

There are 146 days cloudy

Explanation:

Since 2/5 as a fraction and 365 as a denominator and 1 over the top.

Then you divide 365 by 5 and get 73

Then you multiply by 2 and get 73*2=146
