A. 1/3 x ? = 5 2/5

B. 1/3 ÷ 5 2/5 = ?

C. 5 2/5 x ? = 1/3

D. 5 2/5 x 1/3 = ?

E. 5 2/5 x 3/1 = ?

F. 5 2/5 ÷ 1/3= ?

Answer 1

Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer this, but I think this can help you.

Well if 5 and 2 fifths is one third of the total height of the building, then that means to find the total height of the building you need to times 5 2/5 by 3.

(I think F is an answer)

Answer 2

The answer is E, they use the formula 5 2/5 x 3/1 which means that they need 3 wholes of the original 5 2/5.
