Question

Two-fifths of the 65 pies at the bakery are apple pies. How many apple pies does the bakery have?

Answer 1

twenty six apple pies 

Answer 2

2/5 of 65 = 2/5 x 65 = 26 apple pies

If you're not allowed a calculator, divide the number by the denominator (bottom number) and then multiply by the numerator (top number)
65/5 = 13
13 x 2 = 26 apple pies
