Question

Length of the ribbon is 120 M. what is the length of 7/15 of the ribbon?

Answer 1

56 M

Explanation:

Reduce fractions to their lowest terms equivalents

Multiply the numerators and denominators of the fractions separately

`(7)/(15)` * 120 = convert to fraction

`(7)/(15)` *
`(120)/(1)` = convert to fraction

`(7 * 120)/(15)` = apply fraction rule
`(a)/(b)` *
`(c)/(d)` =
`(a * c)/(b * d)`

`(7 * 120)/(15 *1)` = apply rule a * 1 = a 15 * 1 = 15

`(120)/(15)` = 8 divide the numbers

7 * 8 = 56 multiply the numbers
