<h3>hello!</h3>
What is 
of 12?
In order to find it, we should divide 12 by 4:-
3
Now, solve our word problem:-
Matthew bought 12 roses. 
of these roses were white.
And we already know how to solve this problem :)
Hence,
<h3>note:-</h3>
Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
5/6 = .83333333333333333333333333.... It goes on...
.833333333333333333 * 18 = 15
15 is your answer
Another way you could do it is 18/6 = 3
3+3+3+3+3 = 15
3 being 1/6th of 18 *Hope This Helps...*
Decimal- A number that has a digit in the tenths place, hundredths place, and/ or beyond.

Answer:
6.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 expressions here. The first one is the fact that r = y. That's one of 2 equations. The second one involves whats' left after cutting off certain lengths of each color string. We cut 2.5 m from red, we cut 3.8 m from yellow. We know that what's left of red is 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow. What's left of red is r - 2.5; what's left of yellow is y - 3.8. We know that r = 1.5y, so filling that in with our corresponding expressions gives us
r - 2.5 = 1.5(y - 3.8)
Distribute to get
r - 25 = 1.5y - 3.2
Now from the first expression, r = y, so fill in y for r to get an equation in one variable:
y - 2.5 = 1.5y - 3.2
Combine like terms:
-.5y = -3.2 and divide to get
y = 6.4
Check it to make sure it works. What's left of red should be 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow and y = 6.4:
What's left of red: 6.4 - 2.5 = 3.9
What's left of yellow: 6.4 - 3.8 = 2.6
1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9, just like it should!
