Math Lesson 7.2

How can we solve for parts of a whole?

2/7 of 28

1. Create a division problem using the whole and the denominator (bottom number of the fraction).
  • 28/7 = 4
2. Take the answer to that division problem and multiply it by the numerator (top number of the fraction).
  • 4 X 2 = 8

So 2/7 of 28 = 8

If you still have questions you can either comment or wait until we review it tomorrow.

Enjoy your evening!
