silly stupid fraction question?
821108
34 and 3 quarters would be like 34 pies plus one more pie with one quarter of it missing.  Write the "whole number" (34 pies) followed by the fraction (3/4 pie).\n\n34 3/4 or 34-3/4\n\nSometimes the dash is added to emphasize that a fraction is involved especially on construction diagrams that may soil or fade.  If 1 1/16 was mistaken for 11/16 in machining an airplane part, the plane might crash, right?

21  9/10\n\nand this is why: http://www.webmath.com/cgi-bin/fraction.cgi?decimal=21.45&op=to_fraction&back=dec2fract.html

If decimals are allowed, then (73+7)*.3 is a nice solution :)\n\nIf not, then the only solution I could find is (3+(3/7))*7\n\nEDIT : As for the initial question, absolutely! Math is my favorite subject, even in college. I won several contests in high-school, and love any sort of math puzzles. If you know of any more, please e-mail me :)\n\nSubmarinerdave : Heh. That's what I thought of as well, my sister has a 24 contest at her school two years ago :) A similar but more challenging game is the 2006 math game, where you try to make numbers from 1 to 100 using the digits 2,0,0, and 6. Link below.

8....it's half.\n\nEach reduce down to 1/2.

You can find the answer by turning the fraction into a decimal. Divide the denominator into the numerator. \n\nSo, for example, divide 3 into 1. This will give you the fraction expressed as a decimal. Then compare it to .35.\n\nDo the same thing with the second one.

YOu cannot change improper fractions to proper fractions. They may be changed to mixed numbers, whole numbers, of mixed decimals\n\n27/2= 13 with a remainder of 1 so you write is as 13 and 1/2 or 13.5

Gopal has the correct answer! \n\nSo... becareful with some other results... and... never use:\n0.833 instead of 5/6... it's a mistake!\n\nFinished Algebra with 19!

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

are u sure its not supposed to be the other way around. Cuz that would make a little more sense.\n\nBut if not, then it would probably be:\n1 + ((4s squared - 11) / (s to the 4 - 3s squared -11))\n1 the quotient. the rest the remainder.

Use a division sign in parentheses. That way three fourths will look like (3/4).

Dude, so simple.\n\nYou need to find a # that is the lowest multiple of both 3 and 2.\n\nSo 1/2 + 1/3 changes to X/6 + X/6\n\nTo find out the top # you do the same thing that you did w/ the bottom #\n\n1 x 3   1 x 2     3     2      5\n----- + -----  = --- + ---  = ---\n2 x 3   3 x 2     6     6      6\n\nHay, if I help som 1 cheet, than I show them how to the problem, ok?\n\nJackmac :P~

Is       %\n--- = ---\nOf    100\n\nThat is the popertion. If you are trying to find what a percent of a number is, that is what you use.\n\nFor example: 15 is what percent of 65?\n\nthis is how you would set it up. \n1. Find your is. That would be 15 because that # is always a part of the whole.( If this number is not given, you put an X in that spot.)\n2. Find your of. That would be 65 because this # is the total amount. The number that is the whole. (If that number is not given, put and X in that spot.)\n3. Find your percent. In this question, that is what we are looking for. We don't know the percentage so we put an X there. (If a percent is given you put that number in the % spot.)\n\nThen you cross multiply. YOu multiply the *of* by the *%*, and multiply the *is* by the 100.\n\nThat will give you an equation. In this example you would have:\n15          X\n---- = ----\n65     100\n\nThen you would have 65X = 1500.\nThen divide the 65X and the 1500 by 65. Then you would have:\nX = 23. 076923.... Then you would say that 15 is 23% of 65.\n\nThe END!

What the...? I don't get that fraction....but uhh, to get the square root of fractions you take the square root of both the top and bottom, and then you simplify...that's all I got...good luck and God bless...

hold on let me look at that for a minute....(dya hate math like this as much as i do?)\n\n(1,4) is one for sure\nyea thats' the only one!!!

just divide both sides by 0.015...\n\nand you will get...\n\n566.66 \n\nwith a repeating six.

Yes, it is a fraction question.  Sorry, I'd love to help, but it is 8:23.

To get N by itself,\n\nsubtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign.\n\nand multiply by 2 on both sides of the equal sign.\n\nI'm not telling you the answer...someone else might, but I won't.\n\nps: it's not 1!!\n\nThe answer really isn't important here. What is important is knowing how to get the answer.\n\nEDIT:\n\nJUST CURIOUS, WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE THUMBS DOWN ON MY ANSWER AND THE ONE BELOW ME?\n\nWAS THAT THE FIRST PERSON THAT ANSWERED REALIZING WHAT AN IDIOT THEY WERE, AND DELETING THEIR QUESTION?\n\nI JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE SOMETIMES.
