Question

There are 206 bones in the body.what fraction represents the number of bones in one hand compared to the fraction of the total bones,if the number of bones in 1 hand is 27?

Write an equivalent fraction.

Answer 1

The fraction representing the bones in 1 hand to the total bones in complete body is
`(27)/(206)`

Explanation:

Total number of bones in the body = 206

The number of bones in 1 hand = 27

The fraction representing the number of bones in one hand compared to the fraction of the total bones

=
`\frac{\textrm{Number of bones in 1 hand}}{\textrm{Total number of bones}}`

`= (27)/(206)`

Hence, the fraction representing the bones in 1 hand to the total bones in complete body is
`(27)/(206)`
