Imagine starting with 10. Subtract 3/5 and count this as having found 1 of 3/5. Subtract another 3/5 from what has remained and count this as having found another 3/5. How much still remains? Enough to keep subtracting 3/5 again? \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, instead of using repeated subtraction to count how many of 3/5 can be found in the number, 10, try something more economical: DIVISION.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide 10 by 3/5. THAT will be how many 3/5 is in 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10÷(3/5)=
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2F%283%2F5%29=10%2A%285%2F3%29\", because division by a fraction is the same as multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction,

\n" ); document.write( "=\"50%2F3=16%262%2F3\"
