Question

5 x 3 =15

1/5 x 1/3 = 1/15

1/5 x 3 = 3/5

5 divide by 1/3 = 15

1/3 divide by 5 = 1/15

Answer 1

To find out how many slices of pear Kylie has after cutting each pear into thirds, you can use the first equation listed in your options. The two correct equations to use are:

1. 5 x 3 = 15: This means she has 5 pears, and she cuts each into 3 slices, resulting in a total of 15 slices of pear.

2. 5 ÷ (1/3) = 15: This equation illustrates another method to arrive at the same total—by converting the division of pears into slices.

So, you could select:

• 5 x 3 = 15
• 5 ÷ (1/3) = 15

These equations show different approaches to solving the problem and both lead to the conclusion that Kylie has 15 slices of pear to share with her teammates.
