if 15 counters are a set, how many are 3/5 of the set?
i hate it lol
3/5 = x/15
find the common denominator which will be "15"
then, since you multiply the "5" by "3" to get "15", then you must multiply the top, numerator, by the same. Therefore: 3*3 = "9"
If you had: 4/5 to get a full set of 15 counters would be "12"counters...you would have to multiply the "4" by "3" as you did for the above.
I think this is what you are looking for?? If not, I appologize.
Nornnr
To find how many counters are 3/5 of the set, we need to calculate 3/5 of the given number of counters.
First, we need to determine how many counters are in a set. In this case, we are given that a set consists of 15 counters.
To find 3/5 of a number, we multiply that number by 3/5.
So, 3/5 of 15 counters can be calculated as follows:
3/5 * 15 = (3 * 15) / 5 = 45 / 5 = 9
Therefore, 3/5 of a set of 15 counters would equal 9 counters.
