Question 442010: i need to know how to figure out wht is 1/5 of 50
Answer by wilft1(217) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the base of the fraction is a 5, and the top is a 1, so the easiest way to figure this one out is to simply divide 50 by 5
so, 1/5 of 50 will be 10

if you were trying to find out 2/5 of 50, divide 50 by 5 then multiply by 2
