Question Posted Monday August 29 2005, 6:22 pm

Hi. I need math homework help and I was wondering if you could help out? =(

A set of 200 tiles includes 50 squares, 80 triangles, and the rest hexagons. What fraction of the tiles are?

Squares? 50/? Reduced to?

Triangles? 80/? Reduced to?

Hexagons? < See how do I figure that out and what do they all go over?

Thank you!

I'm the wrong person to ask. I suck so much at math, but I'll try and help you out. Fractions are pretty easy, I suppose. There's 200 tiles in all, correct? So for the squares, you already know there's 50 of them, so the answer to that would be 50(the number of squares)/200(the number of tiles in all). For the triangles, it would be the same type of thing. The answer would be 80/200. Now for the Hexagon, you just need to figure out how many there'd be. Since you know how many squares and triangles you have, all you do is add them both up. 50 + 80 = 120. So that means you have 70 Hexagon's. The fracton for that would be 70/200.
