How many 3/5s are in 1?

Answer :

Division of fractions

We can know how many 3/5s are in 1 just by dividing 1 into 3/5

We rewrite 1 into a fraction

[tex]1=\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{1}}{\frac{3}{5}}[/tex]

We exchange the numbers of the fraction that divides 1 and multiply it

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{1}{1}}{\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{1}{1}\cdot\frac{5}{3} \\ =\frac{1\cdot5}{1\cdot3}=\frac{5}{3} \\ =16.666\ldots \\ \cong16.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then in 1 there are 5/3 ≅ 16. 7
