6/10
To convert 3/5 to an equivalent fraction using tenth size strips, we need to determine how many tenth size strips would be needed.
The fraction 3/5 can be understood as "three parts out of five parts."
Since we know that each fifth size strip represents one part, we can divide the 3 fifth size strips into smaller tenth size strips to represent the same fraction.
One way to divide each fifth size strip into smaller tenth size strips is by cutting each fifth size strip into 2 equal parts.
So, each fifth size strip will now be divided into 2 smaller tenth size strips.
Since we started with 3 fifth size strips, we will now have 6 smaller tenth size strips.
Therefore, the equivalent fraction of 3/5 using tenth size strips is 6/10.
So, your answer of 6/10 is correct!
