(3/5)*5=? Sir MOMGIE can you help me to solve it ? Please I also want to know of which method u use.

Sagot :

I assume that this is plain multiplication with the use of asterisk (multiplication symbol):

(3/5) (5) = 15/5
              = 3

ANSWER:  3

Rule in multiplication of fractions:
1.  Multiply numerator by numerator,  denominator by denominator.

2.  If the other number is a whole number, assume that the denominator of the whole number is 1.

3.  Reduce to lowest term, if needed.
     The fraction is in lowest term if both the numerator and denominator 
     is only divisible by 1.

-----------------------------------------------------  

If your question involves exponent or power, the solution herein:

(3/5) ⁵ = [tex]( \frac{3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3}{5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x5}) [/tex]
     
           =  243 / 3,125
