Question

How do I express the following as a fractional part of a year?

3 month
55 days
1 month
7 months
120 days

Answer 1

3 months = 3/12 | 55 days = 55/365 | 1 month = 1/12 | 7 months = 7/12 | 120 days = 120/365

Explanation:

All you have to do is write the numbers with the total underneath. With months, it is out of 12 because there are 12 months in a year. With days, it is out of 365 days because there are 365 days in total in a year.

If needed, simplify the answer to its simplest form

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

A year has 12 months and 365 days.

3 months: 3/12 year = 1/4 year

55 days: 55/365 year = 11/73 year

1 month: 1/12 year

7 months = 7/12 year

120 days = 120/365 year = 24/73 year
