In English, I think this reads
A parking lot has a capacity of 75 cars. If 3/5 of it is full at one time, how many more cars can be parked?
Well, 3/5 of 75 is 45, so what do you think?
To find out how many more cars can be filled, we need to determine the number of cars that are already filled at one time.
Given that 3/5 of the parking place is full, we can calculate the number of cars currently parked by multiplying the capacity of the parking place (75 cars) by 3/5:
Number of cars already filled = (3/5) * 75
To simplify this calculation, we can divide both the numerator and denominator of 3/5 by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
Number of cars already filled = (1/5) * 75
Now, we can calculate the number of cars already filled:
Number of cars already filled = 1/5 * 75 = 15 cars
To find out how many more cars can be filled, we subtract the number of cars already filled from the total capacity of the parking place:
Number of cars that can be filled more = Total capacity - Number of cars already filled
Number of cars that can be filled more = 75 - 15
Number of cars that can be filled more = 60 cars
Therefore, 60 more cars can be filled in the parking place.
