Question

Natalia bought 6 sweaters. 3 are blue. What fraction of the sweaters are blue?

Answer 1

The answer is 3/6. That is simplified to 1/2.

1/2 of the sweaters are blue.

To find the answer you do the blue sweaters over the total of sweaters including the blue ones.

That is 3/6.

This is the answer but you should always simplify.

To simplify, you divide. In this case, divide by 3.

3 ÷ 3 = 1

-------------

6 ÷ 3 = 2

So the answer is 1/2.

`(1)/(2)` <--------- This is how it looks like as a fraction.

Hope this helps, have a great day, stay safe, and positive.
