Math: 3 over 5 times 80. please help!?

3/5 * 80 is also 3/5 * 80/1.
So multiply the top (numerators) across, you get 3*80 = 240
Do the same for the bottom (denominators), you get 5*1 = 5
You will get 240/5= 48

This could be read as
(i)

3
------------
(5 x 80)

OR

(ii)

(3/5) x 80


YOU have to clarify this.

Answers are :-
(i) 3/400
(ii) 3 x 16 = 48

3/5 x 80

= 3 x 16

= 48

3/5 x 80
= (3 x 80)/5
= 240/5
= 240 ÷ 5
= 48

(3 / 5) x 80
Division and product, you may choose one of them to be solved first. Let's choose product first, it's easier.

3x80 = 240,
then we divided 240 with 5, and we'll get the answer.

240 / 5 = 48.
48 is the answer

3 80 240
---- x ----- = ------- = 48 ?
5 1 5



hope this helps :P

3/5x 80
3/5= 0.6 as adecimal
Then 3/5x80=0.6x80
=48.

3/5 x 80

= 3 x 16 (as 5x16=80)

= 48

3/5*80 you mean?

So 80=8*10
8*10/5=8*2=16
16*3=48

Do you live in the land without calculators?
