Rapunzel cut 2/3 of of her hair. She donated 7/8 of what she cut off to a wig shop.

What fraction of her hair did Rapunzel donate?

Verified Answer :

2/3 of 7/8
2/3×7/8=7/12

If Rapunzel donated 7/8 out of 2/3 of her hair that she cut, the fraction of hair Rapunzel donated would be: \(\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }\)

We can solve this by applying the knowledge of fractions.

If 2/3 was cut, the fraction that represents the hair that was cut would be = 2/3.

Out of this 2/3, 7/8 was donated to a wig shop. The fraction that represents this would be calculated as follows:

\(\frac{2}{3}\) of \(\frac{7}{8}\)

Change the "of" to multiplication sign and solve

\(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{14}{24}\)

Simplify further

\(\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }\)

Therefore, if Rapunzel donated 7/8 out of 2/3 of her hair that she cut, the fraction of hair Rapunzel donated would be: \(\mathbf{\frac{7}{12} }\)
