Question

Rodney has a board that is 5/6 yard long. He uses 1/5 of the board to make a frame. How long is the board used to make the frame?

Answer 1

(1/5) * (5/6) = 5/30 = 1/6 yard

Answer 2

First make the bottom the same

There is 25/30 yards.

We need 1/5 of this which would be 5/30 or 1/6 yards.

Does this make sense?
