Question

Last year, 120 new houses were built in a neighborhood. So far this year, 5/6 of them have been sold. How many new houses have been sold this year? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

{100}

Explanation:

To find out how many houses have been sold this year, we need to calculate 5/6 of the total number of houses built. We can do this by multiplying 120 by 5/6:

`120 * (5/6) = 120 * (5/6)`

`= 20 * 5`

`=100`

So, 100 houses have been sold this year.
