Answer:

21

Explanation:

Well, if you need to find 3/5 of 35, there are 2 easy methods.

Method 1:

multiply 3/5 and 35/1 to get 105/5

When you divide 105 by 5, you get 21

Method 2:

First find 1/5 of 35:

35 divided by 5 is 7.

Now you need to multiply 7 and 3, because you need 3/5 not 1/5, so you get 21
