Question

The Indian Ocean is 2/10 of the area of the worlds oceans. What fraction represents the area of the remaining oceans that make up the worlds oceans? Write in simplest form.

Answer 1

Since 10 - 2 = 8

The fraction of the remaining oceans would be 8/10

And if you simplify both 8 and 10 by 2

Meaning you divide them by two

8 ÷ 2 = 4

10 ÷ 2 = 5

Our new fraction is 4/5
