25 * 3/5 = ?
Olivia,
This is virtually identical to the last question you asked. Please do it the same way.
By the way
25 = 5 * 5
3/5 = 15/25
To find out how many parts of the rectangle must be shaded to cover three-fifths of it, you need to calculate three-fifths of the total number of parts.
Since the rectangle is divided into 25 equal parts, each part represents 1/25th of the whole rectangle. To find three-fifths of the rectangle, you can multiply the total number of parts (25) by three-fifths (3/5).
Mathematically, you can express this as:
3/5 * 25 = (3 * 25) / 5 = 75 / 5 = 15
Therefore, you must shade 15 parts of the rectangle in order to cover three-fifths of it.
