Sangster FL class, March 30

 Test on Friday April 1 (Fraction and some financial literacy)


a.     1 – 3/5 – 1/3 = people did not respond

Common denominator between 5 and 3 = 15

 

            3/5 (change denominator to 15) 

            (3x3)/(3x5) = 9/15

            1/3 (change denominator to 15)

            (1x5)/(3x5) = 5/15

 

            1 – 9/15 – 5/15

            15/15  – 9/15 – 5/15

            1/15 did not respond to the survey

 

 


 

b.     1 – 2/9 – ¼

Common denominator between 9 and 4 = 36

 

Change 2/9 with a denominator of 36

(2x4)/(9x4) =8/36

 

Change ¼ with a denominator of 36

(1x9)/(4x9) = 9/36

 

1 – 8/36 – 9/36 

36/36 – 8/36 – 9/36

19/36 of the budget is left

 

c.     1 – 2/7 – 1/5

Common denominator between 7 and 5 = 35

 

Change 2/7 with a denominator of 35

(2x5)/(7x5) = 10/35

 

Change 1/5 with a denominator of 35

(1x7)/(5x7) = 7/35

 

1 – 10/35 – 7/35

35/35 – 10/35 – 7/35

18/35 of the budget is left

 

Please work on (l), (m), (n), (o), (p). All similar
