Identifying the Fraction 3/5: Mathematical Number Recognition

Question

The number 35 \frac{3}{5} is found

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's try to understand what is bigger and what is smaller than the number 35 \frac{3}{5}

Since the denominator is 5, both the larger and smaller numbers will also have a denominator of 5:

\frac{?}{5}<\frac{3}{5}<\frac{?}{5}

Now let's complete the numerators with numbers that will help us reach whole numbers in fractions as follows:

\frac{0}{5}<\frac{3}{5}<\frac{5}{5}

Let's reduce the fractions as follows:

05=0 \frac{0}{5}=0

5:55:5=11=1 \frac{5:5}{5:5}=\frac{1}{1}=1

In other words, the fraction is between 0 and 1.

Let's try to find a smaller range, meaning consecutive numbers before and after the fraction's numerator as follows:

\frac{1}{5}<\frac{3}{4}<\frac{4}{5}

Answer

between 15 \frac{1}{5} to 45 \frac{4}{5}
