Question

Alice has 1/5 as many miniature cars as Sylvester has Sylvester has 35 miniature cars how many miniature cars does alic have?

Answer 1

The answer is 7. Since Alice has 1/5 as many cars as Sylvester. You multiply 1/5 by how many cars Sylvester has. Sylvester has 35 cars, so you would do 35 times 1/5 or 35 divided by 5 (multiply by 1/5 and divided by 5 are the same thing) and you would get your answer of 7.
