Question

In a basket there were 40 loaves of bread. 3/5 of them were to be sliced. how many loaves were to be sliced?​

Answer 1

Answer:

24 loaves out of 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of loaves of bread = 40

3/5 of the total were to be sliced.

So, the number of loaves that were to be sliced = 3/5 of 40

                                                                                   3/5 x 40

After cancelling out 40 with 5, we get,

3 x 8 = 24

So, 24 loaves out of 40 were to be sliced.

I hope my answer helps :)
