Question

10) Workmen used 3/5 of a pallet of pavers to build some steps leading up to the

mansion. They used 1/10 of a pallet for each step. How many steps did they build?

Answer 1

They built 6 steps.

Answer 2

6 steps

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 3/5 to have the same denominator as 1/10

`(3)/(5)=((3)(2))/((5)(2)) =(6)/(10)`

Step 2: How many times does 1 fit into 6

6 / 1 = 6

Therefore the workmen built 6 steps
