One-fifth of "r" = (1/5).r = r/15

And One-fifth of "r" is 15 → (r/5) = 15 and r = 75

Answer:


(r)/(5)=15

Explanation:

We are asked to translate our given phrase into an equation.

Phrase: One-fifth of "r" is 15.

First of all, we will find one-fifth (1/5) of r.


r* (1)/(5)=(r)/(5).

We have been given that one-fifth of "r" is 15, so we will equate one-fifth of r with 15 as:


(r)/(5)=15

Therefore, our required equation would be
(r)/(5)=15.
