Question

Everett made 3/5 of the baskets he shot. Suppose he shot 60 baskets. How many did he make?

Answer 1

Everett made 36 shots

Answer 2

You have to multiply 5×12 to get 60. And whatever you do on the bottom you do on the top. So
you then multiply 3×12 and you
get 36. So he got 36 out of 60
shots.

3 (12) 36
-- = --
5 (12) 60
