What is a fraction?
A **fraction **is a numeral that represents a **rational **number.
Let a and b be two numbers, then their **fraction **can be represented as a/b.
Given that,
Fraction of turkey eaten by Uncle Bill = 1/4,
Percentage of turkey eaten by Chris = 15%,
Part of turkey eaten by Timmy = 0.3 or 3/10,
**Percentage **of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.
To find the **fraction **of turkey that was eaten,
Convert percentage into fraction
Since, **percentage **of turkey eaten by Chris = 15%,
**Fraction **value of turkey eaten by Chris = 3/20
Also, **percentage **of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.
**Fraction **value of turkey eaten by Dave = 3/25
Total **fraction **of turkey that was eaten = 1/4+3/20+3/10+3/25
= (25+15+30+12)/100
= 82/100
= 41/50
