3 5 ‘Whole number ÷ denominator x numerator’ Numerator 55 of Denominator Whole number
55 boxes 5 11
We must choose 3 out of these 5 parts 33 boxes!
5 5 Let’s try one... 3 of 5 ÷ 33 = x Denominator Numerator Whole number
5 6 Another one... 4 of 7 ÷ 32 = x Denominator Numerator Whole number
8 1 Follow the formula and it’s easy... 6 of 9 ÷ 54 = x Denominator Numerator Whole number
9 6 Last one... 9 of 12 ÷ 72 = x Denominator Numerator Whole number
Important Note • When you are finding a fraction of a whole quantity you are finding a part of that quantity, so: • The UNITS of your answer will be the SAME as the units of the whole quantity • Your answer will ALWAYS be SMALLER than the whole quantity, because it is part of it!
