Madge had typed 77pages of a report that contains 280 pages .what fraction of the report has she typed?

Answer :

To find the fraction of a from b, then divide a by b

Since Madge had typed 77 pages

Since the total of pages is 280

Then to find the fraction of typed pages divide 77 by 280

[tex]\frac{77}{280}[/tex]

Simplify it by dividing up and down by 7

[tex]\frac{\frac{77}{7}}{\frac{280}{7}}=\frac{11}{40}[/tex]

The fraction of the report that she typed is 11/40
