1. By what number should 3⅖ be multiplied to get 6⅕ ?

2. A jug contains 25 litres of water. How many bottles of capacity ⅗ litres can be filled from the jug? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a . 3 2/5 = 17/5

6 1/5 = 31/5

17/5 × x = 31/5

x = 31/5 ÷ 17/5

31/5 × 5/17

= 31/17

b . 3/5 × x = 25

x = 25 ÷ 3/5

25 × 5/3

= 125/3

41 2 /5 bottles can be filled
