Can you help me with fraction word problems?

One way to find the percentage of a value is to convert the percentage into a number then multiply the value by this number.\nYou convert a percentage into a number by dividing the percentage by 100: x% = x/100.\n\nFor example: find 5% of 200.\n1) Convert the percentage to a number:\n5% = 5/100 = 0.05\n2) Multiply the value by the number:\n200*0.05=10\n\nIn your case,\n1) Convert the percentage to a number:\n91&3/8% = 91.375/100 = 0.91375\n2) Multiply the value by the number:\n1000*0.91375 = 913.75\n\nYou would have $913.75

Perfect squares between 1 and 49 are:\n1*1=1,\n2*2=4,\n3*3=9,\n4*4=16,\n5*5=25,\n6*6=36,\n7*7=49,\ntherefore \n\n49 = 49\n\nOnly one term is needed

I'll just tell you enough and then you do the rest.\n\nEach of them involves a number which is a mixture of whole number and fraction.  First step is to exress it as an improper fraction, e.g.\n2) 3 5/8 = 24/8 + 5/8\n             = 29/8  \n(simple rule is \n(denominator*whole number + numerator)/denominator)\nLikewise 2 1/2 = 5/2\n\nI expect you can do\n(1/2)*(29/8)*(5/2)\n\n3) Same idea for 4 1/5, only extra thing to know is that to divide by 14 you multiply by 1/14.\n\nCheers

Let me give you a hint.\nDivide 2.49 by 12.\nThen multiply by 5.\n\nOf course you could use fractions?

What can 4 and 5 both go into? You have to "translate" those fractions into fractions with common denominators.\nThat will get you started on finishing your own homework.

Turn them into improper fractions:\n47/8+41/12\n141/24+82/24=\n223/24 or 9 7/24

That is right. Just put them in a calculater to check. 2/9=0.22222222 and 8/36=0.2222222. Either they are wrong or you misinterpred the question and it was asking something else. The best way to solve a problem like that is to cross multiply. 2/9=8/? turns into 2*?=8*9.

OK, but you really need to learn this because it's going to be on a test and you won't be able to use yahoo answers:\n\nTo solve this, we first replace x with its value:\n\n6 1/5 - 3 1/3\n\nnext, we make this look like the difference of two fractions:\n\n31/5 - 10/3\n\nWe're pretty close, but we need a common demoninator, so we multiply the left side by 3/3 and the right side by 5/5 (see, it's always OK to multiply things by 1):\n\n93/15 - 50/15\n\nThen it's easy:\n(93-50) / 15\n\nor\n\n43/15.\n\nWe can turn this into a whole number plus a fraction by saying\n43/15 = 30/15+13/15\n\n         = 2 + 13/15\n\n      or 2 13/15

Word problems like this can be hard.  Everybody has problems with them sometimes.\n\nIt does help to draw it out.  So you draw a little rectangle like this:\n ______________\n|                            |\n|                            |\n|______________|\n\n2 of the sides are 120 m and the other 2 are 150 m.  So you take 2 times each of these numbers and add them together:\n2(120) + 2(150)\n\nThat's your perimeter, in meters.  Now if your poles are 2 m apart, you don't need one for every meter you get in your answer, you only need 1 every 2 meters.  So you divide your answer by 2, and that gets your number of poles you need to put around the field.

1) yes, this is correct as written.  Not sure what else you need? \n2) 10/14?\n3) 2 (1 is not a factor)\n4) -6(x+1)\n5) 5 1/4 or 21/4 (same thing)\n6) 1 4/9

A number that can be written as a fraction.

Not necessarily.  If the answer to a division problem is 7.5, then the answer is 7 and a half (half of what you're dividnig by).\n\nExample- 15 divided by 2 is 7.5, but the remainder in this problem is 1, not 5 (1 is half of 2).

16/24....it's really not that hard...you should be able to solve it on your own.\nps. you might want to simplify it down to 2/3.

Problem 1:\n\n1912.50/45,000 = x/60,000\n45,000x=60,000*1912.50\n45,000x=114750000\nx=114750000/45000\nx=2550\n\nProblem 2:\n(2000/3 = 3300/x)*2\n(2000x=9900)*2\n(x=9900/2000)*2\n(x=4.95)*2\nx=9.9 seconds\n\nThese solutions are solving for x algebraically, but are the long way.\n\nAs mentioned above, an easier way is to figure the percentage of each and then multiply.\n\nSo $1,912.50 divided by $45,000 = .0425.  Multiply this by $60,000 (60,000*.0425) = $2,550.\n\nThe same can be applied to the number of seconds.\nIt takes 3 seconds to print 2000 characters...3/2000 = .0015 (or 1 character every .0015 seconds).  Then multiply this by 3300 to get the time for 1 page = 4.95 seconds.  Then multiply by 2 to get the time for two pages: 4.95*2 = 9.9 seconds.

This is more of a word problem or a riddle than a math problem.\n\nThe answer is 7 (SEVEN).  Remove its first letter and it becomes EVEN!

I haven't done partial fractions in a while, so you might want to check this: \n1/(x+3) - 2/(x+3)^2 + 5/(x-7)
