Ok, so 1 is a whole number.  1/5 is a fraction of 1.  So you want to subtract 1/5 from 1.  The number 1 is equal to 5/5.  So if you subtract 1/5 from 5/5 you are left with 4/5.  You do the same with the second one, just subtract 3/5 from 5/5 to get your answer.

What you want to do is convert the 1, a whole number into a fraction. Since the denominator is 5, 5/5 makes 1 whole. So your question now reads, 5/5 - 1/5.  Change any equation so that you have all common denominators 
The second problem the whole number is still 5/5. So the equation becomes 5/5 - 3/5.    With common denominators, it becomes a simple subtraction, 5 - 1  and 5 - 3  Hope it helped!

Cindy multiple her age by 5, subtracted 12, and then divide by 3. The result was 16. How old is Cindy?
sergejj [24]

Let's give Cindy's age a variable.

Cindy's age = x

Cindy multiplies her age by 5

x(5)

Subtracted by 12

x(5) - 12

Divide by 3

(5x - 12)/3

The result was 16

(5x - 12)/3 = 16

Let's solve

Multiply both sides by 3

(5x - 12) = 48

Open brackets

5x - 12 = 48

Add 12 to both sides

5x = 60

Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x

x = 12

Cindy is 12 years old.
