If Sam is entitled to 15 days of vacation each year and he has already used 6 of his vacation days by June 1st, then it means that he as used 6/15 of his vacation days so far.
The decimal fraction for males, in the total, is 0.65
If you are given the "the total radiation" (e.g. 100 rads of radiation) and you are given another radiation level (e.g. 75 rads of radiation) and then you are asked: 'What is "the fraction of the total radiation?"', then you would answer "75/100".
The bottom number.
The denominator.
The fraction seen was 440/800.
It is the denominator of the original fraction. If the fraction has been simplified you have no way to get back to the total.
Multiply the whole nomber of total points by the fraction.
If Sam is entitled to 15 days of vacation each year, then it means that by the 1st of June, Sam will have used 6 out 15 of his leave days, ie 6/15 = 2/5
In the original fraction it is the denominator but if the fraction has been simplified you are out of luck. There is no way to recover the value of the total (nor the parts) from a simplified fraction.
How many parts of the total you have in the fraction.
You divide the part by the total.
The denominator tells you the total of the pieces in the fraction.
The denominator in the unsimplified fraction.
cross multiply and the fraction with the largest total is a greater fraction
mass fraction of Substance A = (mass of Sub. A) / (total mass)
The carbon concentration of an iron-carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.94 is 0.06. Since the fraction of ferrite in the alloy is 94/100, the fraction of carbon must be 6/100 to make a total of 100/100.
The decimal fraction for males, in the total, is 0.65
