Glencoe Math Course 2 Volume 1 Chapter 1 Practice Exercise 1.2 Solutions Page 21   Exercise 12   Problem 1

Given that, the percent is 13\(\frac{1}{3}\) %

We need to write the given percent as a fraction and simplify it.

 

Given percent is 13\(\frac{1}{3}\) %

Converting the given mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we get

13\(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{40}{3}\) %

Thus, the percentage becomes

\(\frac{40}{3}\) percent = \(\frac{40}{3}\)÷ \(\frac{100}{1}\)

Glencoe Math Course 2 Student Edition Volume 1 Chapter 1 Ratios and Proportional Reasoning Practical Exercise 1.2

Multiply it by the reciprocal of \(\frac{100}{1}\) , we get

\(\frac{40}{3}\) percent = \(\frac{40}{3}\)÷ \(\frac{100}{1}\)

= \(\frac{40}{3}\)× \(\frac{1}{100}\)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\)× \(\frac{1}{10}\)

= \(\frac{2}{3}\)× \(\frac{1}{5}\)

= \(\frac{2}{15}\)

The given percent 13\(\frac{1}{3}\) % as a fraction in the simplest form is \(\frac{2}{15}\)

Glencoe Math Course 2 Volume 1 Page 22   Exercise 15   Problem 2

A complex fraction is nothing but a fraction that has fractions in its denominator or in the numerator or in both.

For example: 

\(\frac{\frac{5}{10}}{2}, \frac{11}{\frac{6}{5}}, \frac{\frac{13}{12}}{\frac{9}{8}}\). These are all complex fractions.

Solving a complex fraction:

Let us consider a complex fraction that involves ratios

\(\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}\)

Simplifying it, we get

​\(\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}\)

= \(\frac{5}{2}\) × \(\frac{1}{10}\)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

A complex fraction is a fraction that has more than one fraction.

That is, fractions will be in their denominator or in the numerator, or in both.

 

Glencoe Math Course 2 Volume 1 Page 22   Exercise 16   Problem 3

We need to write three different complex fractions that simplify to \(\frac{1}{4}\)

So, we will use the definition

The three different complex fractions and their simplification is given below

1) \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\)

Simplifying it, we get

\(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\)= \(\frac{1}{2}\)×\(\frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

2)\(\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{5}\)

Simplifying it, we get

\(\frac{5}{4}\)× \(\frac{1}{5}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

3)\(\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}\)

Simplifying it, we get

\(\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)×\(\frac{3}{4}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

The three different complex fractions that simplify to \(\frac{1}{4}\) are \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\), \(\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{5}\), \(\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{4}{3}}\)

Given that, A lawn company advertises that they can spread 7,500 square feet of grass seed in 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) hours.

We need to determine the number of square feet of grass seed that can be spread per hour.

Given that
Square feet of grass that they can spread = 7500

Time taken = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

The unit rate is

Unite rate \( = \frac{7500}{2 \frac{1}{2}} \)

=  \(\frac{7500}{\frac{5}{2}}\)

=  7500  ×  \(\frac{2}{5}\)

= 1500 × 2

=  3000

Hence, The number of square feet of grass seed that can be spread per hour is 3000 square feet.

Given that, the percent is 7 \(\frac{3}{4}\)%

We need to write the given percent as a fraction and simplify it.

Given percent is 7 \(\frac{3}{4}\)%

Converting the given mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we get

7 \(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{31}{4}\)%

Thus, the percent becomes

\(\frac{31}{4}\) percent = \(\frac{31}{4}\) ÷ \(\frac{100}{1}\)

Multiply it by the reciprocal of \(\frac{100}{1}\) , we get

\(\frac{31}{4}\) percent = \(\frac{31}{4}\) ÷ \(\frac{100}{1}\)

\(\frac{31}{4}\) percent = \(\frac{31}{4}\)×\(\frac{100}{1}\) we, get

= \(\frac{31}{400}\)

The given percent 7\(\frac{3}{4}\)% as a fraction in the simplest form is \(\frac{31}{400}\)

The value of a certain stock increased by 1 \(\frac{1}{4}\)%

We need to explain how to write it as a fraction in the simplest form

Given percent is 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)%

Converting it into fractions, we get

1\(\frac{1}{4}\) percent = \(\frac{5}{4}\)percent

= \(\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{100}\)

= \(\frac{5}{4}\)×\(\frac{1}{100}\)

= \(\frac{1}{4}\) × \(\frac{1}{20}\)

= \(\frac{1}{80}\)

Hence, The value of \(\frac{1}{4}\) percent = \(\frac{1}{80}\)

Given that, Debra can run 20\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles in 2 \(\frac{1}{4}\)

We need to determine how many miles per hour she can run.

Given that = 20\(\frac{1}{2}\)

= \(\frac{41}{2}\) miles

Time taken ​= 2 \(\frac{1}{4}\)

= \(\frac{9}{4}\)

​The unit rate is

Unite rate = \(\frac{\text { Number of miles }}{\text { Time taken }}\)

=  \(\frac{\frac{41}{2}}{\frac{9}{4}}\)

=  \(\frac{41}{2}\) × \(\frac{4}{9}\)

=  41 × \(\frac{2}{9}\)

= \(\frac{82}{9}\)

= 9 \(\frac{1}{9}\) miles per hour

She can run 9 \(\frac{1}{9}\) miles per hour
