Question

Madge had typed 77pages of a report that contains 280 pages .what fraction of the report has she typed?

Answer 1

To find the fraction of a from b, then divide a by b

Since Madge had typed 77 pages

Since the total of pages is 280

Then to find the fraction of typed pages divide 77 by 280

`(77)/(280)`

Simplify it by dividing up and down by 7

`((77)/(7))/((280)/(7))=(11)/(40)`

The fraction of the report that she typed is 11/40
