Answer 2

Given: $\frac{1}{5}$ of a number is $3000$

To find: $\frac{1}{3}$ of the amount

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given,

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{5} \times x = 3000$

$\Rightarrow x=3000 \times 5$

$\Rightarrow x= 15000$

Now, to find the $\frac{1}{3}$ of the amount, the required expression is

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \times x$

Substitute the respective value in the above expression.

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \times 15000$

$\Rightarrow 5000$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{3}$ of the amount is $5000$ , when $\frac{1}{5}$ of a number is $3000$.
