What is 2/5 of 15? help pls

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The word of in math refers to multiplication.

We can convert 15 to a fraction as well so we can use them together (15/1).

`(2)/(5)` x
`(15)/(1)`

We can then work diagnolly and reduce the 5 and 15 since they are both divisible by 5- this is also known as the GCF or Greatest Common Factor

`(2)/(1)` x
`(3)/(1)`

This is the same as 2 x 3 since both numbers divided by 1 are just themselves.

2x3 = 6
