Question

Kylie brought 5 pears to soccer practice to share with her teammates. She cuts each pear into thirds. How many slices of pears does she have to share with her teammates? Which equations can you use to solve the problem? Select two equations.

A. 5 × 3 = 15

B. 1/5 × 1/3 = 1/15

C. 1/5 × 3 = 3/5

D. 5 ÷ 1/3 = 15

E. 1/3 ÷ 5 = 1/15

Answer 1

The answer is A and D.

Step-by-step explanation - Kylie brought 5 pears to practice. Because she cut each of them into thirds, this means that each pear equals 3 slices - therefore making the equation 5 x 3 = 15 and also making the equation 5 ÷ 1/3 because them two both equal 15.

Answer 2

A and D

Explanation:

One pear is split into thirds. That means that one pear can become 3 slices. Because you have 5 pears, you have 15 slices. By multiplying 3 (slices) and 5 (pears), we receive the answer of 15 slices.
