Answer 1

120 Phones

Explanation:

3/5 of 200

Step 1: Divide 200 by 5

200 ÷ 5 = 40

Step 2: Multiply 40 by 3

40 · 3 = 120

Answer: 3/5 of 200 = 120

Tip: When finding a fraction of a whole, divided the whole by the denominator, then multiply the quotient you got by dividing the whole by the denominator by the numerator

Example: 1/2 of 80

80 ÷ 2 = 40

40 · 1 =40

1/2 of 80 = 40
