Mr. Randolph drove 143 miles in 3.25 hours. At that rate, how far would he travel in 5 hours?
you need to get his rate per hr
143/3.25=?
Then multiply that times 5 hours
for your answer.
If 15 counters are a whole set how many are 3/5 of the set?
divide 15/5 if 3
my bad it is 15/5 is 3
To find out how many counters are 3/5 of the set, you can divide the total number of counters in the set (15) by the denominator of the fraction (5) and then multiply the result by the numerator of the fraction (3).
So, 15 divided by 5 is 3, and then you multiply that by 3.
Therefore, 3/5 of the set would be 9 counters.
