Question

How should I get rid of the 5

A divide by 5

B multiply by 5

Answer 1

Divide by 5, if question is a multiplication

But, multiply by 5 if question is based on division.

So, you're basically doing the inverse, of the operations you've been given.

For example:

x/5 = 2

x5 ( Multiply by 5)

x = 10

3 x y = 12

÷3

y = 4

Hope this helps!
