By what percent will a fraction decrease if its numerator is decreased by 40% and its denominator is decreased by 25%?

This is experimental fraction question

We start with a high fraction and work downwards to a lower fraction

Reduce 10/16;  = 6/12 = 1/2   observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/5

Reduce  10/12 = 6/9 = 1/3  observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/4

Reduce 8/8 = 3/2 observation = the fraction gets smaller by 1/3

We notice that when the fraction is whole number it reduces by 1/3

When the fraction is 3/4 it reduces by 1/4

When the fraction is 5/8 or 10/16 it reduces the fraction by 1/5

When the fraction is already half

We can prove it reduces again by a smaller than 1/5 number

1/2 = 10/20 = reduction = 6/15 = it has reduced by 3/15 = 1/6 to 1/7

This is because the numerator is reduced 40% and the denominator is reduced by 25%  

Step-by-step explanation:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

( 0.6 ÷ 0.75 ) * 100 = 0.8 * 100 = 80

100% - 80% = 20%

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour

answer: yard ramps with a level off platform are typically 36 feet long. truck, rather than at an angle, enabling access to those pallets at the very back of the truck. if you are using your yard ramp to convert a loading dock into a drive-in door, we even at 60 inches (5 feet) high and a 30 foot ramp, the slope of the ramp will be less
