Answer:

$6,120

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 (one-fifth) of the family's annual income ($30,600) is spent on housing- as the word problem states.

You have to find 1/5 (one-fifth) of* $30,600.

Write it out as an equation.

$\frac{1}{5} \times 30600$

*The <em>of</em><em> </em>in the word equation (1/5 of 30600) simply means multiplication.
