Yesterday i was doing a fraction problem solving with my group and we had to count all of the tents and count the ones that have there lights on. There is 36 tents all together here is and 27 tents that have there lights on . We have to do the fraction of that. So the denomaneter is 36 because it is how much there and the numerator is 27. So Mrs Akkerman told me to simplify the fraction so you go what times tables is in the number like if its 27 9 times 3 is 27 so you write that down close to 27 and try find out some more. Next try find out the times tables for 36 so 6 times 6 and 12 times 3 is 36 so you chose a number from the numbers from the times tabling and and put them together as a fraction.
