Answer :

Let's solve each of the given problems step by step.


  1. [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 22:

    To find [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 22, multiply 22 by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 22 = \frac{22}{2} = 11[/tex]

    So, [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 22 is 11.


  2. [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 24:

    To find [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 24, multiply 24 by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times 24 = \frac{24}{3} = 8[/tex]

    Thus, [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 24 is 8.


  3. [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 20:

    To calculate [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 20, multiply 20 by [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{4} \times 20 = \frac{20}{4} = 5[/tex]

    Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 20 is 5.


  4. [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of 15:

    To find [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of 15, multiply 15 by [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{5} \times 15 = \frac{15}{5} = 3[/tex]

    So, [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of 15 is 3.


  5. [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] of 40:

    To calculate [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] of 40, multiply 40 by [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{10} \times 40 = \frac{40}{10} = 4[/tex]

    Thus, [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] of 40 is 4.


  6. [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 27:

    To find [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 27, multiply 27 by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

    [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times 27 = \frac{27}{3} = 9[/tex]

    Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 27 is 9.



Overall, the process we used to solve these problems is multiplying the given number by the fraction, which is the same as dividing the number by the denominator of the fraction.
