The diagram is asking for you to find out what 1/3 of the missing number is, and it shows that 3/5 + 1/2 is equal to a third of the whole. So, you would multiply 3/5 and 1/2 by 3, and make sure to have the parentheses because you want to multiply the <u>sum</u> of 3/5 and 1/2 by 3.
First we have to find 25% of 32. 25% of 32 its 0.25*32=8 Now we have to subtract 32 and 8 32-8=24 Now we have to find 50% of 24 50% of 24=12 24-12=12- its the answer
