Find out how much she spent.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/3+1/3+1/9=?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get common denominator.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3/3)x(1/3)+(3/3)x(1/3)+(1/9)=? \n" ); document.write( "(3/9)+(3/9)+(1/9)=? \n" ); document.write( "(6/9)+(1/9)= 7/9\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "2nd.) Find the fraction that represents the amount she has left.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that 7/9 represents the amount she spent already, so she will had 2/9 left, since 7/9+2/9= 9/9 or 1.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So she has 2/9 left. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "3rd.) Multiply the dollar amount by the fraction that represents the amount she has left.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$2,700x(2/9)=$600 \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Answer: Jessica will have $600 left. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "**Note** You could just use 7/9 (the amount that was spent) and multiply by $2,700, which would give you $2,100 (the dollar amount spent). Just make sure you subtract $2,100 from the original amount($2,700) to give you the new amount of money.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
