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
