About 1/10 of the bones in your body are in your skull. Your hands are about 1/4 of the bones in your body. Write and solve an equation to find the fraction of no es in your body that are in your hands and skull.

The fraction of number of bones in the body that are in your hands and skull is 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question firstly we list out the known variables as follows

Fraction of the number of bones in the skull to the total number of bones in the body = 0.1

Fraction of the number of bones in the hands to the total number of bones in the body = 0.25

Therefore, if the number of bones in the body = x, then number of bones in the skull = 0.1×x and number of bones in the hands is = 0.25 x

The sum of the total number of bones in the skull and hands is = 0.1x + 0.25x = 0.35x

The fraction of the total number of bones that is in the hands and skull = 0.35

repeat the question
