Word problem with fractions

Question

If you have $23 and spend $7,what fraction of money did you spend?

Answer 1

Hey Angelika! This problem has to do with fractions. What you need to figure out are two things: the total amount of money you have, and the amount you spent out of that money. In this problem, you are given both. Out of the $23, you spent $7. This can be written as: 7/23. Hope this helps!
