Question

Tracy took a quiz containing 12 items. If she answered 5/6 of them right, how many did she answer correctly?

Answer 1

That answer is correct but another way to look at it is that since 6 goes evenly into 12, multiply the fraction by 2 so you get 10/ 12 so therefore the answer is 10

Answer 2

To find 5/6 of 12, you do 5/6 multiplied by 12

12*5/6 (first multiply 12 by 5 and leave the answer over 6)
60/6 (simplify)
The final answer is 10

Hope this helps!
