What fraction of a month is 1 week?(consider that 1 month=30 days)Express it in lowest term.?

Answer 1

A week is seven days out of a month of thirty days (as specified in your question)

7/30

Since 7 is prime, it cannot be simplified any further

Ans: 7/30

[was it just me and tomski that read the part of the question in brackets (consider that 1 month=30 days)? ]

Answer 2

A month of 30 days would normally have four weeks so that would be 1 week out of four, which is exactly 1/4 if you go by weeks

If you go by days, then 1 week has 7 days out of the total of 30, which would be 7/30. That cannot be reduced any further.

Answer 3

1 week has 7 days and ,as you consider, a month has 30 days. So the ratio of a month to a week is 7/30 days

Answer 4

1/4

Answer 5

7/30

Answer 6

7/30

Answer 7

You can measure it as days, 7/30.
You can measure it as what part of the month, 1/4.
You can measure it as a decimal to reflect either of those two.
You can measure it also as a percent, 25% of the month.
Which again is .25 in decimal just like 1/4 is.

Obviously, precision is not of the utmost importance here; otherwise, the rounding of the days per month would not be, and exactness would be in place.
So I'd suggest not to make it any harder than it has to be, just pick the one you want to use and go with it. There really is not a lot one can do to represent anything as a fraction of the whole anyhow.

Answer 8

7/30 7 days in a week. 7 is a prime number and can't be divided by anything else except 1 and itself so that is the lowest term

Answer 9

7 days in a week 30 days in a month

7/30

Since 7 is prime and it doesn't go into 30 evenly, you already have it in simplest terms

Answer 10

1/4 = 4 weeks in a month 1 week is 1/4
