I would say we use letters in mathematics so you can understand the problem more or whats really happening for example if they ask you question about how many people went to the party and bought stuff without the letters and only numbers you'll be confused...like umm...how many people went what are the stuff they bought.Or another example is if the question only had an empty graph.People would be like what do I have to do with the empty graph.What's the problem etc.So math problems without letters would be confusing.

1 1/5 divided by 3/10

MissTica

Answer: <em><u>4.</u></em> This is because 1 and 1/5 = 1.2 and 3/10 = 0.3 and 1.2 divided by 0.3 = 4. That's because 1.2 can be split into 4 equal groups and each group has 0.3.
