a) Well, honey, if there are 24 students and 8 of them are boys, that means 8 out of 24 students are boys. Simplify that fraction and you get 1/3. b) Now, if 8 out of 24 students are boys, then the remaining 16 students must be girls. So, the fraction of girls in the class is 16 out of 24, which simplifies to 2/3. Hope that clears things up for you, darling!
Oh, what a lovely class we have here! With 24 students total, 8 of them being boys, we can express the boys as a fraction by writing 8/24, which simplifies to 1/3. As for the girls in the class, we have 16 of them, so the fraction would be 16/24, which simplifies to 2/3. How delightful to see such a balanced and diverse group of students learning together!
a) The fraction of boys in the class is 8/24, which simplifies to 1/3 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8. b) The fraction of girls in the class can be calculated by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of students. Therefore, the fraction of girls is 16/24, which simplifies to 2/3 following the same process.

0.15 written as a fraction in simplest form is 3/20Explanation:0.15 is the same thing as 15 hundredths or 15/100. Using one of the laws of division, we can divide both the top and the bottom of the fraction by the same amount to get an equivalent fraction. Dividing by the greatest common factor (GCF) will get you the fraction in simplest form. The GCF is 5 so when we divide both sides by 5 we get 3/20.That would be 3/20
When finding a fraction for a terminating (non-recurring) decimal, this is always equal to the digits in the fraction over a power of 10. To find out which power of 10, include the zeros from the decimal and the power of 10 should have the same amount of digits as the numerator. So: 0.092 = 0092/1000 to give the same amount of digits on the top and bottom of the fraction. This is equal to 92/1000 which can be simplified... 92/1000 = 46/500 (factor 2) = 23/250 (factor 2 again) 0.092 = 23/250 which is in its simplest form
A simplified fraction would be like 1/2. You can't reduce it any more. The only common factor between numerator and denominator is the number one (1). This is one use for finding the Greatest Common Factor between two numbers. Once you find the GCF, just divide the Numerator by GCF, and divide the Denominator by GCF and you have an equivalent fraction which has been reduced to the simplest form.An equivalent fraction is like 3/4 and 6/8. It's the same amount, therefore equal, which is where the name equivalent comes in.An equivalent fraction is a different representation of the simplest form. The numerator and the denominator of the equivalent fraction are multiples of the numerator and the denominator of the simplest form.
