1. anonymous

now dum, you know what to do here :) give it a try ^_^

2. anonymous

well ok 29 divided by 100 witch is .29 and then u x 48 witch will =13.92 but how do i right it as a fraction

3. anonymous

how do i right that as a fraction though

4. anonymous

no need to do that dear, all you have to do is multiply (29/100)(48/1) like this:$\frac{29}{100} \times \frac{48}{1}$ multiply the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator to keep it as fraction :)

5. anonymous

14. anonymous

excellent so this is divided by 100 ^_^ ta da we have a fraction ~

15. anonymous

now,let's check if we can simplify both the numerator and denominator, ok?

16. anonymous

but i got 1392

17. anonymous

yes I know, now we must simplify the fraction right ^_^ to its simplest form

18. anonymous

ok

19. anonymous

alright, let's start with the smallest of all , let's try to divide the numerator and denominator by 2, check :)

20. anonymous

1392 divided by 2? ^_^

21. anonymous

696

22. anonymous

excellent, what about 100 divided by 2?

23. anonymous

24. anonymous

good,so now we got our big big fraction a bit smaller, so what is our new fraction? ^_^

25. anonymous

696 ---- 50

26. anonymous

excellent, so now, let's check again, can we still simplify it?

27. anonymous

yes it is 348 ---- 25

28. anonymous

excellent! that's it, can we simplify it any further?

29. anonymous

no

30. anonymous
