Fraction Flower I think that trying to find out the fraction is a little hard but fun!! The first thing I did was measuring the area of the small triangle. Then, I found the area of the large square.
After that, I set up the fraction with the smaller area for the numerator, and I used the area of the big square for the denominator. I reduced the fraction and got 50/44,000 to 5/4,400 to 1/880.
I was off by a lot. I was off by 1/372. The real answer is 1/512. Bye!!

About the Blogger
Hello, I'm excited to start this blog about math because I love math. Math isn't the only thing i like to do, I like to play Sunflake soccer, read, and hang out with my friends. One of my favorite ways to solve math problems is using partial products. That's some of the things about me. See ya later!
