Question: [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]×[tex] s = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]?
To solve this, put it in reverse order: [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{1}{3} =s[/tex]
So what does [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{1}{3} =s[/tex] equal?
Solve:
[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{3} =s[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{3}{15}[/tex]÷[tex]\frac{5}{15} = s[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{3}{15}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{15}{5} = s[/tex]
15 and 15 cross cancel out so...
[tex]= \frac{3}{1}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{5}=s[/tex]
[tex]= s = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

I hope this helps!
