Ben made 3/5 of baskets he shot, suppose he shot 60 baskets. How many did he make?
3/5 * 60 = 180/5 = 36
There are 36 students in Mrs. Keaton's sixth grade class. If 5/12 of her students are girls, how many girls are in the class?
Thanks :-)

To find out how many baskets Ben made, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with the information that Ben made 3/5 of the shots he took.
Step 2: Multiply the fraction 3/5 by the total number of shots taken (which is 60).
Step 3: To multiply a fraction, multiply the numerator (top number) with the total number of shots and divide it by the denominator (bottom number).
Calculating the number of shots Ben made:
(3/5) * 60 = (3 * 60) / 5 = 180 / 5 = 36
Therefore, Ben made 36 baskets out of the 60 shots he took.
