Question

Jackson used 1/5 of his savings for his first year of college. 2/3 of that money was spent on his tuition. Which equation shows the fraction of his total savings that was spent on his tuition?/

Answer 1

Answer:

the equation would be 1/5 x 2/3 =2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that he used 1/5 of his savings and 2/3 of 1/5 for his tuition therefore we need to multiply 1/5 times 2/3 to find out what money was spent

Answer 2

1/5 was used for college

2/3 of that money used for college was spent on tuition

so we want to find the total amount used for tuition

we want to find 2/3 of 1/5

the eqaution would be $\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{2}{3}$=fraction of savings used for tuition

the fraction would evaluate to 2/15
