Unit 2 - Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
We don't use fractions in real life, do we???
Oh course we use fractions!! We use them all the time. Not just using measuring cups in baking or reading numbers off of a tape measure when building but they are everywhere!! We apply fractions in the area of business regularly. In many business situations you know what fraction of your profits come from certain products so if you make sports equipment and 1/5 of your profits come from selling footballs, to know your profit off of footballs is the multiplication of fractions!! |
