Solving fraction problems




Walt:solve fraction word problems.

180 is the answer.
2/5 of $450=$450 divided by 5=90
(I got 5 from the denominator)
90x2=$180
(I got 2 from the numerator)
Marcus spent $180 on a DVD player.
$450-180=270
1/3 of 270=270 divided by 3=90
(I got 3 from the denominator)
90x1=90
(I got 1 from the numerator)
Marcus spent $90 on a jacket.
270-90=180
Marcus had $180 money left to spend.

This problem wasn’t easy, it was complicating. I was really confused. I couldn’t work this out fast enough. No one helped me with this problem, so it was just me. Next I would like to learn, and work out bigger problems. I want to learn bigger problems so I can get good at it.
