Fractions of Quantities

1. If you are finding the fraction of a given number, the important rule to remember is that you must divide by the denominator, and multiply by the numerator.
1. If the numerator is one ( ) then all you need to do is the division.

Example 1 :

Let’s say that we need to find    of 54.

We need to divide the value by the denominator first.

54 ÷ 9 = 6

Since the numerator is one, 6 is our answer.

Example 2 :

Let’s try a slightly harder question – we’ll find   of £77.

1. First, we must divide by the denominator.

77 ÷ 7 = 11 (this is    of our value)

1. Next, we have to multiply by the numerator.

11 x 4 = 44

Therefore,   of £77 is £44.

1) In 5 ½ how many halves are there?

2) If Sara has 60 sweets and gives away 1/5 of them ,how many does she have left?

1. calculate 2/3 of 300
2. How did you calculate this ?

3) In 4 ½ Litres how many minutes are there?

4) If you have 21cm what fraction of a meter is this ?

6) There are 60 cars in a car park

1/3 of them are silvers.

1/6 of them are maroon.

4/12 of them are black.

Calculate how many cars there are of each colour.
