Rapunzel cut 2/3 of of her hair. She donated 7/8 of what she cut off to a wig shop.
What fraction of her hair did Rapunzel donate?

Respuesta :

2/3 of 7/8
2/3×7/8=7/12

If Rapunzel donated 7/8 out of 2/3 of her hair that she cut, the fraction of hair Rapunzel donated would be: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }[/tex]

We can solve this by applying the knowledge of fractions.

If 2/3 was cut, the fraction that represents the hair that was cut would be = 2/3.

Out of this 2/3, 7/8 was donated to a wig shop. The fraction that represents this would be calculated as follows:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Change the "of" to multiplication sign and solve

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{14}{24}[/tex]

Simplify further

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }[/tex]

Therefore, if Rapunzel donated 7/8 out of 2/3 of her hair that she cut, the fraction of hair Rapunzel donated would be: [tex]\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }[/tex]
