1) of means multiply so 1/5 of 325 is
2)
3 times 8 is 24 write 4 carry 2
3 times 7 is 21+2 is 23 write 3 next to 4 and carry the 2
3 times 3 is 9+2 is 11 write 1 next to 3 and carry the 1
3 times 4 is 12+1 is 13 write 13 next to 1
your number now should be 13134 now divide by 100
when diviting by 100 you move the decimal place 2 times to the left
13134.0/100=131.34
so the answer is 131.34
