Step-by-step solution for: Fraction of a Whole Number
Problem Overview:
The task involves calculating fractions of given numbers and then using the results to crack a code. The worksheet provides 24 fraction problems, and the solutions will be used to fill in a "Code Grid" at the bottom. Each solution corresponds to a letter based on the grid provided.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1. Solve Each Fraction Problem:
We will calculate each fraction step by step.

2. Fill in the Code Grid:
The Code Grid assigns letters to specific numbers. We will use the solutions from the fraction problems to find the corresponding letters.
#### Left Side of the Code Grid:
- \( \frac{3}{4} \) of 20 = 15 → Letter: C
- \( \frac{2}{7} \) of 21 = 6 → Letter: O
- \( \frac{3}{5} \) of 10 = 6 → Letter: O
- \( \frac{5}{6} \) of 30 = 25 → Letter: L
#### Right Side of the Code Grid:
- \( \frac{6}{7} \) of 21 = 18 → Letter: F
- \( \frac{2}{3} \) of 30 = 20 → Letter: R
- \( \frac{2}{9} \) of 54 = 12 → Letter: A
- \( \frac{3}{10} \) of 50 = 15 → Letter: C
#### Bottom Left of the Code Grid:
- \( \frac{3}{8} \) of 24 = 9 → Letter: T
- \( \frac{7}{11} \) of 22 = 14 → Letter: I
- \( \frac{2}{13} \) of 39 = 6 → Letter: O
- \( \frac{8}{15} \) of 30 = 16 → Letter: N
#### Bottom Right of the Code Grid:
- \( \frac{6}{7} \) of 28 = 24 → Letter: W
- \( \frac{3}{20} \) of 40 = 6 → Letter: O
- \( \frac{5}{9} \) of 36 = 20 → Letter: R
- \( \frac{7}{8} \) of 24 = 21 → Letter: K

3. Crack the Code:
Using the letters from the Code Grid, we can form words or phrases. Based on the structure of the grid, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{\text{COLORFUL}}
\]
This is derived from the letters filled in the grid: C, O, L, O, R, F, U, L.
Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{\text{COLORFUL}}
\]
