Question

3/5 of $40 restaurant bill = $

Answer 1

All you have to do is first make the 3/5 into a decimal so it can be multiplied by the 40. 3/5 is .60 so you can use that number. (.60*40) and that should be w=equal to 24 which is your answer.

Answer 2

3/5 x 40 = 24 

of=times (x) 

5 goes into 40, 8 times so cross out the 5 and replace it with 1 and cross out the 40 and replace it with 8. Then you are left with 3 x 8  which equals 24.
