Answer 2

Hey there!

When you see the word “of” in mathematical statement, it usually means “multiply” (aka Multiplication)

“3/5 of 5/9”

3/5 • 5/9

MULTIPLY the NUMERATORS (TOP NUMBERS) from each other & also MULTIPLY the DENOMINATORS (BOTTOM NUMBERS) from each other!

3(5) / 5(9)

3(5) = 15 ⬅️ NUMERATOR

5(9) = 45 ⬅️ DENOMINATOR

15/45

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) for both of your numbers is: 15.. so DIVIDE both the NUMERATOR and DENOMINATOR from 15

15 ÷ 15 / 45 ÷ 15

15 ÷ 15 = 1 ⬅️ NUMERATOR

45 ÷ 15 = 3 ⬅️ DENOMINATOR

Answer: 1/3 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
