What is fraction?

A fraction is  a number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator. In a simple fraction, both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator.

According to the question

A cubic foot of stone weighs = 150 lb

A cubic foot of iron weighs = 480 lb

The  fraction of the second weight is the first one

Let fraction = x

i.e

480 * x = 150

x = 150/ 480

x =  [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]

Hence, the fraction of the second weight is the first one is  [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] .
