Question

Rosalia passed out fliers that say, “Vote for Rosalia!” She gave out 85 fliers on Monday, 66 fliers on Tuesday, and 99 fliers on Wednesday. What fraction of the fliers did she give out on Wednesday? Use a diagonal fraction bar in your answer. Explain how you found the answer.

Answer 1

She gave out a total of 250 fliers and 99 of them were given out Wednesday. The fraction for that would be 99/250.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

She gave out 85 fliers on Monday 66 fliers on Tuesday, and 99 fliers on Wednesday.

Now, calculate the total number of fliers she give:

She give 250 fliers in total.

We need to find the fraction of the fliers she give out on Wednesday.

On Wednesday she give 99 fliers and total she give 250 fliers.

99/250

Hence, she give out 99/250 fraction of fliers on Wednesday.

Answer 2

The information provided will allow us to create a ratio of the number of fliers given out on Wednesday in relationship/compared to the total number of flyers.  This would be written as 99 on Wed./250 total.  I found this by reading the question.  It asked for the fraction given out Wed., which we can write a ratio of part to total for.  The part is Wednesday and total is all the days added together.
