This week at school I learnt how to do something like: 3/7 of 63 = 27. How do you work this out?
Divide 7 by 63: 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
Your answer is nine. Now, times your answer by the numerator.
Times 9 by 3: 9 x 3 = 27.
That's your answer. 27. Now, another.
5/6 of 42 = 35. Like last time, how many 6's go into 42. We all know that's 7. Another way you could work that out is: 6 x _ = 42. That's 7.
After you work that out, times your answer by the numerator
Times 7 by 5. 7 x 5 = 35. There's your answer.
