60 = 12 * 5; 72 = 12 * 6, so 60/72 = 5/6
It is: 72
5/6
No because 36/72 is equivalent to 1/2
72/60 = (6×12)/(5×12) = 6/5 (as an improper fraction) = 1 1/5 (as a mixed number)
60 = 12 * 5; 72 = 12 * 6, so 60/72 = 5/6
72
5/6
It is: 72
45/72 or 5/8
No because 36/72 is equivalent to 1/2
72/60 = (6×12)/(5×12) = 6/5 (as an improper fraction) = 1 1/5 (as a mixed number)
It is: 5/6
6/5
Simple answer= 60% "is" is an = sign. "of" is a multiplication sign. "what percent" is the letter Y. 72=120Y 120/72= .6 .6= 6 over 10, times 10 equals 60 over 100, or 60%.
5/6 - 3/8 Subtraction of fractions. Steps to take : - #1 ; Convert to improper (top heavy) fractions. Not required in this case. #2 ; Bring to a common denominator; 6 X 8 = 48 #3 ; Bring the numerators to the equivalent values for a denominator of 48. #4 ; Subtract the numerators #5 ; Place the numerator over the denominator #6 ; Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms. Hence #1 ; Not required in this caser , as there are no whole number coefficients. #2 ; 4 x 8 = 48 #3 ; 5 x 8 = 40 & 3 x 6 = 18 #4 ; 40 - 18 = 22 #5 ; 22/48 #6 ; 11/24 The ANSWER!!!! NB For addition of fractions, complete the same steps , except at #4 , where you add the numerators. NNB Multiplication and division of fractions has a different 'steps to take' structure.
5/6 of 72 = 72*5/6 = 60
