Answer: 25

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

Answer:


\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

Hope this helped!
