Question

Wally has $84 He used 2/7 of his money to buy a new pair of running shoes.How much did Wally spend on his new shoes?

Answer 1

You need to find 2/7 of 84 to find the price of the shoes.

First divide the whole (84) by the parts (7) to find out how much each part would be.

$84÷7= n (n = $12)

Then multiply the cost of each part by the number of parts used. In this case 2 out of 7 parts were used. So your next step would look like this:

$12 x 2 = price of the shoes

Don't forget to include your money signs in your answer.
