Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r
30 I think because 6 12 18 24 30 and 10 20 30
1/4 because 0.25 is the same thing as 25/100. 25/100 simplified is 1/4
