Question

Luis is doing his math homework. He has 30 problems in all. After an hour, he only has 1/6 of those problems left. How many problems does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation: 1/6 of 30 is 5, so 30 minus 5 equals 25.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Luis has 30 problems and after one hour, $\frac{1}{6}$ of those problems are left. This means that the total number of problems left will be $30 \cdot \frac{1}{6}$.

Multiplying by a fraction is the same as dividing by a whole. The denominator of $\frac{1}{6}$ is 6, so we can divide 30 by 6.

$30 \div 6 = 5$
