Get a ruler in your hands. Measure things until you start to understand how a ruler works. Measure some stuff and figure out where the center is. Say you measure a book and it's 7/8" thick. You look at your ruler and see that every eighth is divided into two sixteenths, so obviously half of 7/8" is going to be 7/16". If you write that out you have 1/2 x 7/8 = 7/16. And you notice that 1/2 is divided into 2/4 and then into 4/8 and so on, so you can convert anything to anything by multiplying all the numbers on top and then all the numbers on bottom.
Other rulers are divided into 10 and 100 parts. But an inch is still an inch, so anything on one ruler can be translated to the other ruler. A half inch on one ruler is 5/10 or 50/100 on the other. An eighth inch is just 12.5 marks when you have 100 marks per inch. A metric ruler divides an inch into 25.4 parts, so a half inch would be 12.7 of those parts. Pretty simple, isn't it? Practice this a bit and people will think you went to wizard school.
"If a man weaves a 450m of cloth in 6h how much cloth will he weave in 14h?"
450m/6 h = 75 m/h Assuming a constant production rate, you can set the two fractions equal: 450m/6h = A/14h when A is the Answer. Or you can set the answer fraction equal to 75 m/h whichever way you choose to do it.
A/14h = 75 m/h The rule is you can do any valid operation on both sides of an equation and it will still be equal. Multiply by 14h. Please notice that we keep the units with the numbers so we can be sure we set the problem correctly.
A = 75 m/h x 14 h = 1050 m (The two h cancel, leaving just m in the answer, just like we wanted.)
So you were right.
