Question

Erase 3/5 of the shape part below. How much of the original figure will be shaded?

Answer 1

Okie doke. So, to find what 3/5 of the shape would be above, we should do 2/3 * 3/5. When you multiply straight across, you get 6/15 or 2/5 in simplest form. 2/5 of the original figure will be shaded after you erase 3/5 of the shaded part. The answer is 2/5.

Answer 2

2/5 will be shaded in the original how I got it s that you make a rectangle and make fifths inside and shade in 3/5 of that and see what matches up on the top.
