Answer:
(1/3) ×5
=5/3
=1.66667(approximate)
Step-by-step explanation:
In math, a fraction “of” a number suggests that multiplication should be used in the problem. 1/3 of 5, for example, really is saying 1/3 times 5. When multiplying a fraction and a whole number, it is easiest to make the whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1 so that you can multiply 2 fractions. So, in this problem, you should start by setting it up as 1/3•5/1. Now, you would multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together and then multiply the denominators (the numbers on bottom) together. At this point, you should be multiplying 1•5 (the numerators) and also multiplying 3•1
