Answer by adamchapman(301) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The fraction 1/5 is equal to 0.2 (try it on your calculator: 1 divided by five).
Multiplying 1/5 by three gives 3/5.
So 3/5 is equal to three lots of 0.2.
The answer is 0.6
I hope this helps.
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
