Question

Luis is doing his math homework. He has 30 problems in all. After an hour, he only has 1/6 of those problems left. How many problems does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: 1/6 of 30 is 5, so 30 minus 5 equals 25.

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{5}`

Explanation:

Luis has 30 problems and after one hour,
`(1)/(6)` of those problems are left. This means that the total number of problems left will be
`30 \cdot (1)/(6)`.

Multiplying by a fraction is the same as dividing by a whole. The denominator of
`(1)/(6)` is 6, so we can divide 30 by 6.

`30 / 6 = 5`
