Answer 1

To multiply a whole number by a unit fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and then divide by the denominator.

Here's the calculation for \( 60 \times \frac{1}{3} \):

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator:
\[
60 \times 1 = 60
\]

2. Divide the result by the denominator:
\[
\frac{60}{3} = 20
\]

So, \( 60 \times \frac{1}{3} = 20 \).
