Fran has raised 2/9 of her fundraising goal for a charity drive. If she has raised $40, then how much money is Fran’s goal for the charity drive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Fran raised 2/9 of her goal already meaning you can divide 40 by two so that you can see what 1/9 of her goal was.

40/2 = 20 (which means that is what 1/9 of her goal is)

Now what you can do is multiply 20 by 9 because when you multiply 1/9 times 9, you get one, which means the fraction is complete.

20 times 9 = 180

Her goal is to raise $180

***you can also double check if the answer is correct if you divide 2/9 and 40/the answer you get. If they match, you got the right answer! both 2/9 and 40/180 equal .22222!
