Question 581063
I need help explaining how to find the answer to what is 1/5 of 15 to my son.
:
A simple rule is whenever you see the word "of" in this context, you multiply
{{{1/5}}} * 15 = 
You multiply the numerators and the denominators, whole numbers have 1 as a denominator
{{{1/5}}} * {{{15/1}}} = {{{15/5}}} = 3 ( 15 divided by 3)
