Question

Naomi painted 5 pictures. She has sold 3 of them. What fraction of her pictures has she sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

She has sold 3/5 of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 paintings out of 5 pictures. 3/5.

Answer 2

Answer:

3/5 of her pictures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 5 pictures in all, 5 is going to be the denominator, or the bottom number in the fraction.  And since she has sold 3 pictures, which used to be part of 5 pictures, 3 is going to be the numerator, or the top number in the fraction. the two ways to write it are: 3/5 and $\frac{3}{5}$.

Hope this helped :)
