If 15 counters are the whole set what is 3/5 of the set?

3/5 is 0.6 so we do 15 * 0.6 and get 9.

You need to multiply 15/1 X 3X5.

Multiply the numerators (15 and 3) to get 45.
Multiply the denominators (1 and 5) to get 5.

So now you have reduced the fraction to 45/5

Simplify it. 5 goes into 45 9 times.

9 is your answer.
