Question

Out of 400 trees in a park, 280 are deciduous. what fraction of number of trees in the park are deciduous?

Answer 1

7/10 trees in the park are deciduous

Explanation:

A fraction compares part of a quantity to the entire quantity, as shown by the expression part / whole.

Since 280 trees are part of the whole 400 trees in the park, we have:

280 / 400

Both 280 and 400 can be divided by 40. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 40 allows us to simplify the fraction:

(280 / 40) / (400 / 40)

7/10

Thus, 7/10 of the trees in the park are deciduous.
