Question

Explain how you would find 36x 5/6
mentally.

Answer 1

we will simplify it in four's table
9×3=27

Answer 2

In step-by-step explanation.

Explanation:

Multiplying a fraction (like 1/2) is really just dividing by the denominator.

In this case, we can (mentally) divide 36 by 6.

36/6 = 6

So each 1/6 of 36 is 6.

Then we just add 1/6 of 36 five times to get 5/6

6+ 6+ 6+ 6+ 6 (or 6 x 5) and we get 30.
