Example 9: Application of Multiplying and Reducing with Fractions A study showed that of the members of a public service organization were in favor of a new set of bylaws. If the organization had a membership of 200 people, how many were in favor of the changes in the bylaws?

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Solution Example 9: Application of Multiplying and Reducing with Fractions (cont.) Thus there are 125 members in favor of the bylaw changes. We want to find of 200, so we multiply:

If the product of and another number is what is the other number? Example 15: Multiplying and Dividing with Fractions and Mixed Numbers Solution Divide the product by the given number to find the other number. is the other number.
