Finding Fractions of a Whole Number

Self Reflection-

When finding fractions of a whole number, I can do this with ease. My only difficulty is when the number that is being divided is very large (hundreds) or is a number I am not sure of the factor. With these 3 equations, I tried to use an unfamiliar equation.

Uncover more about our people and our history.As modern Pacific people, high-spirited Cook Islanders are a cosmopolitan blend of western influence and ancient Polynesian heritage. Like any true blooded Maori, we enjoy pomp, splendor and big ceremonies with traditional customs and much feasting. Hospitality, smiles and a warm welcome come naturally.

After stopovers from Spanish explorers Alvaro de Mendana sighting Pukapuka in 1595, and Pedro Fernandez de Quiros sighting Rakahanga in 1606, Captain James Cook sighted Manuae in 1773, then subsequently Palmerston, Takutea, Mangaia and Atiu, where Lieutenant Gore landed in 1777. The redoubtable Captain William Bligh first sighted Aitutaki in 1798 and soon after, following the very bloody Mutiny on the Bounty, the buccaneer Fletcher Christian, having seconded Captain Bligh’s very own boat, sailed into Rarotonga.
