Today we are going to be finding fractions of amounts.

We have already done some of this in our maths meetings in school!

Remember:

To find ½ we divide by 2

To find 1/3 we divide by 3

To find ¼ we divide by 4

In other words we divide by the denominator!

If we want to find 2/3 of a number we divide by 3 then multiply the answer by 2

e.g 2/3 of 36 36 ÷ 3 = 12 (1/3) 12 x 2 = 24 so 2/3 of 36 = 24

In other words DDMN – divide by the denominator multiply by the numerator
