How do you calculate 2/3 of a quantity?

Back

To calculate 2/3 of a quantity, multiply the quantity by \( \frac{2}{3} \). For example, for 33 feet of rope: \( 33 \times \frac{2}{3} = 22 \) feet.

What is the total amount of pizza left if there are 3 boxes with 3/8 of a pizza each?

Back

Total pizza left = \( 3 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{8} \) pizzas.

What is the result of multiplying a whole number by a fraction?

Back

When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator and divide by the denominator. For example, \( 6 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{6 \times 1}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = 1.5 \).

How do you find the total number of items distributed when given a fraction of the total?

Back

Multiply the total number of items by the fraction. For example, if there are 20 packs and \( \frac{3}{5} \) are distributed: \( 20 \times \frac{3}{5} = 12 \) packs.

What is the process to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number?

Back

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator over the original denominator. For example, \( \frac{9}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{8} \).

Front

What is the formula to find a fraction of a number?

Back

The formula is: \( \text{Fraction of a number} = \text{Number} \times \text{Fraction} \).

Front

How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

Find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators. For example, to add \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} \), convert \( \frac{1}{4} \) to \( \frac{2}{8} \) and then add: \( \frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8} \).

Front

What is the result of dividing a whole number by a fraction?

Back

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. For example, \( 6 \div \frac{1}{4} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \).

What is the meaning of the term 'mixed number'?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \).
