Finding fractions

Example:

What fraction of £1 is 20p?

This is how you work out.

£1 = 100p

You keep 100p in the denominator and 20p in the numerator. 20p/100.

Now reduce the fraction to lowest terms. Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. After a bit of working out, you will get the answer: 1/5

Now try the following questions.

1. What fraction of a pound is 35p?

2. What fraction of a pound is 40p?

3. What fraction of a pound is 75p?
