"Circle Graphs and fractions."

HELP!!! Idon't understand this problem, The Paul family has created a monthly budget. They allow 2/5 of the budget for mortgage, 1/4 for food, 3/20 for clothing, 1/10 for savings, 1/20 for trnsportation, and 1/20 for other. How much money altogether. Make a circle graph for degrees and another for fractions.Should the denominators be added together to make the denominator you need? |

First you have everthing right but all you need to do now is get the denominators for all the fractions and then you have to get the top number and then you can add up all the problems but remeber that you have to reduce the fraction to the lowest fraction I guess you already knew that so that how you get the problem solved but I'm going to help you out with finding the common denominators first and then I'm going to solved the problem so you will know how to do it when another question like that come up. 2/5+1/4+3/20+1/10+1/20+1/20= 2/5=8/20+1/4=5/20+3/20+1/10=2/20+1/20+1/20=1 Cause when you add all of them together you get 20/20 and that will give you 1 cause 20/20 is not a fraction it is a whole number. Cause you add all the top numbers and you get 20 and the denominator is already 20 so thats how you get your answer. |
