Question

Please help me I am stuck on this

Answer 1

Explanation:

when we say "a/b of c", we mean mathematically :

a/b × c

so,

a)

x = 1/5 × 15 = 15/5 = 3

b)

x = 3/4 × 48 = 3×48/4 = 3×12 = 36

Answer 2

• a) 3
• b) 36

Explanation:

a) 1/5 of 15 = ?

→ 1/5 of 15

→ (1/5) × 15

→ 15/5 = 3

So, answer is 3.

b) 3/4 of 48 = ?

→ 3/4 of 48

→ (3/4) × 48

→ 144/4 = 36

So, answer is 36.
