Example Question #43 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is of ?
To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number. So, in the problem
of
we will write it like
Now, to multiply, we will write 27 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So,
Now, we will multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #44 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is of ?
To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number.
So, in the problem
of
we can write it like this:
Now, we will write 32 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So, we get
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #45 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is of ?
To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number.
So, in the problem
of
we can re-write it as
Now, to multiply, we will write 24 as a fraction. We know that a whole number can be written as a fraction over 1. So, we get
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #46 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is of ?
To find a fraction of a whole number, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number.
So, in the problem
of
we can re-write it as
Now, to multiply, we will write 63 as a fraction. We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1. So, we get
Now, we can simplify before we multiply to make things easier. The 7 and the 63 can both be divided by 7. So, we get
Now, we can multiply straight across. We get
Therefore, of is .
Example Question #41 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
What is of ?
