Kylie brought 5 pears to soccer practive to share with her teammates. She cuts each pear into thirds. how many slices of pears does she have to share with her teammates? which equations can you use to solve the problem? select two equations.
a. 5*3=15
b. 1/5 * 1/3 = 1/15
c. 1/5 * 3 = 3/5
d. 5 divided by 1/3 = 15
e. 1/3 divided by 5 = 1/15
You can use equations (a) and (d) to solve the problem.
Equation (a) is the multiplication of the number of pears by the number of slices each pear is cut into. So, 5 pears x 3 slices per pear = 15 slices in total.
Equation (d) is the division of the total number of pears by the number of slices each pear provides. So, 5 pears รท 1/3 slice per pear = 15 slices in total.
