Rosalia passed out fliers that say, “Vote for Rosalia!” She gave out 85 fliers on Monday, 66 fliers on Tuesday, and 99 fliers on Wednesday. What fraction of the fliers did she give out on Wednesday? Use a diagonal fraction bar in your answer. Explain how you found the answer.

Answer 1

To determine what fraction of the total fliers Rosalia gave out on Wednesday, we first need to find the total number of fliers she distributed over the three days.

1. Calculate the Total Fliers:

   • Fliers given out on Monday: 85
   • Fliers given out on Tuesday: 66
   • Fliers given out on Wednesday: 99

   Total fliers = 85 + 66 + 99

   Performing the addition: \[ 85 + 66 = 151 \] \[ 151 + 99 = 250 \]

   So, the total number of fliers she passed out is 250.

2. Find the Fraction for Wednesday: Now we need to express the number of fliers given out on Wednesday as a fraction of the total fliers. The number of fliers given out on Wednesday is 99.

   The fraction of fliers given out on Wednesday is: \[ \frac{99}{250} \]

3. Final Answer: Therefore, the fraction of the fliers that Rosalia gave out on Wednesday is: \[ \frac{99}{250} \]

In summary, I found the answer by first calculating the total number of fliers distributed over the three days, and then forming a fraction using the number of fliers given out on Wednesday as the numerator and the total number of fliers as the denominator.
