Finding Fractions - Maths

This week I have been focusing on finding a fraction out of a whole number for example 1/4 of 81. It may look hard but in reality it is extremely easy all you need to know are your time tables.

Lets figure out 1/3 of 15 you might know this already but for people who don't know this is how you work it out.
First you need to get the denominator and multiply it by the whole number ( 3 x ? = 15 )
Then you need to look at the 3x tables and find what equals 15, 3 threes equal 15. So your answer for 1/3 of 15 is 3! Easy right now go and have a try yourself.
