If a pear is cut into 1/3, a pear can cut into 3 slices .

1 pear = 3 slices
5 pears = 3 x 5
5 pears = 15 slices

Answer (a): 3 x 5 = 15

Number of 1/3 slices you can get from 5 pears:

5 ÷ 1/3 = 5 x 3 = 15

Answer (D) 5 ÷ 1/3 = 15

Kylie will have 15 pieces of pear to share. If she splits each pear into 3 slices and there are 5 pears, then 5*3 = 15 is your equation. The other equation is 5 / 1/3 = 15.

Have a nice day!
