<PRE><B>Question 1057518</B>
15 feet length cut into 3.6 feet, 2.8 feet and unknown x feet.
{{{3.6+2.8+x=15}}}


Solve for x.


The fraction of 15 which is x is
{{{x/15}}}


You will have a decimal number divided by 15.  Place Value meaning??!!!


{{{x=15-3.6-2.8}}}
{{{x=15-6.4}}}
{{{x=8.6}}}


Your fraction,  {{{8.6/15}}};
again, PLACE VALUE meaning?
Or maybe {{{highlight(86/150)}}} and REDUCE THIS.
-
{{{(2*43)/(3*5)}}}
This is in its reduced form already.</PRE>
