Question

Naomi painted 5 pictures. She has sold 3 of them. What fraction of her pictures has she sold?

Answer 1

3/5 of her pictures.

Explanation:

Because there are 5 pictures in all, 5 is going to be the denominator, or the bottom number in the fraction. And since she has sold 3 pictures, which used to be part of 5 pictures, 3 is going to be the numerator, or the top number in the fraction. the two ways to write it are: 3/5 and
`(3)/(5)`.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

She has sold 3/5 of them.

Explanation:

3 paintings out of 5 pictures. 3/5.
