Question

How many 3/5s are in 1?

Answer 1

Division of fractions

We can know how many 3/5s are in 1 just by dividing 1 into 3/5

We rewrite 1 into a fraction

`1=(1)/(1)`

Then

`((1)/(1))/((3)/(5))`

We exchange the numbers of the fraction that divides 1 and multiply it

`\begin{gathered} ((1)/(1))/((3)/(5))=(1)/(1)\cdot(5)/(3) \\ =(1\cdot5)/(1\cdot3)=(5)/(3) \\ =16.666\ldots \\ \cong16.7 \end{gathered}`

Then in 1 there are 5/3 ≅ 16. 7
