This week in Maths we have been looking at fractions of numbers and shapes. Using your knowledge from last week about fractions and the method below answer the following questions:-
To calculate a fraction of a number you must:-
DIVIDE THE NUMBER BY THE DENOMINATOR AND THEN TIMES THE ANSWER BY THE NUMERATOR!
For example to find a 2/3 of 15 you do:- 15/3 = 5 5 x 2 = 10 Answer = 2/3 of 15 is 10
Now work out the following:-
1/3 of 12=
2/3 of 30=
3/4 of 20 =
4/5 of 50 =
Which of these shapes can be split equally into a 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4?
