Question

Which product is shown in this number line?

Answer 1

Answer:

• $\frac{1}{3} *\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded part of the line corresponds to a third part of a segment that measures $\frac{1}{5}$, so the shaded segment is:

$\frac{1}{5}$ ÷ $3=\frac{1}{5*3}=\frac{1}{15}$

Now we evaluate the options to see which results in $\frac{1}{15}$:

• $\frac{1}{3} *\frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{3*5} =\frac{1}{15}$ so this is the correct answer, since the other options does not result in $\frac{1}{15}$

Answer 2

1/3 times 1/5

You have one third of a section of 1/5.
