Five and 13/15 of what number is two and 1/5?
thank you that helps alot
Let the number =N
2 1/5N =5 13/15
11/5N =88/15 divide both sides by 11/5
N =88/15 / 11/5
N =88/15 X 5/11
N =440 / 165
N =2 2/3
5 + 13/15 = 88/15
2 + 1/5 = 11/5
Let n be the number
"of" means "multiply" and " what" means "equal" .......so....
88/15 * n = 11/5 multiply both sides by 15/88
[15/88] * [88/15] n = [15/88] * [11/5]
n = [15/88] * [11/5 ] = [15/5] * [ 11/88] = 3/1 * 1/8 = 3/8
