Question

Write the fractional equivalent (in reduced form) to each number 30 points

Answer 1

1/3 (NOT 3/10). .3 repeating is not 3/10, 3/10 is .3.

2) 1/8. To solve, .125 has three places, so use 1000. 1000/125 is 8, that is your denominator. 125/125 is 1 is your numerator.

3) 1/6 (divide 100/16, which is 6 ¼ - round to 6. If you carry this out to 1,000,000/166,667, it is very close to 6.

4) 1/10

5) 2/3 (NOT 3/5)

6) 1/5 (2/10 reduced to 1/5)

7) 3/4 (75/100 reduced)
