a.) 7/20

b.) 0.375

c.) 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 0.35 is out of 1, so to find 0.35 in fraction form: 35/100.

Simplify that down by dividing both top-bottom by 5 and you get 7/20

b. 1/8th of anything is 0.125, so 0.125 (3) = 0.375. Alternatively you can use a calc to calculate the decimal.

c. Find the area of the rectangular carpet: 60m. Then find the area of the square rug: 4m

Find the fraction: 4/60

Simplify by dividing top-bottom by 4 and you get 1/15
