Question

The width of the vegetable garden is 1/3 times its length.  If the length of the garden is 7 3/4 what is the width

Answer 1

Helo, Kimberly

 

Listen, all you have to do is multiply  (1/3) (7  3/4).  In case you forgot, Make the mixed number, which is 7 3/4 into an improper fraction.  This becomes 31/4.  Now multiply,

 

(1/3) * (31/4) .  When you multiply fractions you multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.  [(1)(31)]/ [(3)(4)}= 31/ 12... This an improper fraction; this is 2 7/12.  There you have it.

 

Hope this helps.
