Answer:
What is 1/3 of 5?
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 (the denominators). Now, you should be left with 5/3, the products of the numerators and the denominators being left in their place. If you want to leave your answer as an improper fraction, your answer should be 5/3, but if you want your answer to be a mixed number, you have to simplify the problem. At his point, you must divide 5 by 3. Since these numbers don't divide perfectly, it may be easier to just ask yourself how many times 3 can be multiplied with its product under 5. That would be 1, because 3•2 is 6 which is greater than 5. So now you have your whole number (1), and you need to figure out your remainder. You have pulled out 3/3 from the fraction which is your 1 whole number, so now you must see how much is left. You can do this by subtracting 5–3 (the two numerators). The answer to this is 2, meaning that you have a remainder of 2. Then you just put that number over the denominator of 3, and your done! Your final answer should be 1 2/3.
