The quotient of Three-fifths and a number is 15.

Answer 1

Three-fifths times a number is 15

m = 25

Explanation:

Three-fifths m = 15?

Three-fifths = 3/5

m = an unknown number

Three-fifths m = 3/5m

That is, 3/5 * m

Three-fifths m = 15

3/5 * m = 15

Three-fifths times a number is 15

3/5m = 15

m = 15 ÷ 3/5

= 15 × 5/3

= 75/3

= 25

m = 25
