Answer 1

• 15 x (¹/₅ x 12)
• The result is 36

Further explanation

The Problem:

• 15 times as much as 1 fifth of 12.
• Write an expression to match, and then evaluate.

The Process:

Here are some early expressions that need attention.

• 1 fifth is $\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}$
• 1 fifth of 12 is $\boxed{\frac{1}{5} \times 12}$

Let us write an expression to match for 15 times as much as 1 fifth of 12.

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 15 \times \bigg(\frac{1}{5} \times 12 \bigg) \ }}$

And now we evaluate the expression.

$\boxed{ \ = 15 \times \bigg(\frac{1}{5} \times 12 \bigg) \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 15 \times \frac{12}{5} \ }$

We cross out 15 and 5 because they both can be divided.

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{12}{1} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 12 \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ 36 \ }}$

Thus, the result is 36.
