Question

Which product is shown in this number line?

Answer 1

1/3 times 1/5

You have one third of a section of 1/5.

Answer 2

• 
  `(1)/(3) *(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

The shaded part of the line corresponds to a third part of a segment that measures
`(1)/(5)`, so the shaded segment is:

`(1)/(5)` ÷
`3=(1)/(5*3)=(1)/(15)`

Now we evaluate the options to see which results in
`(1)/(15)`:

• 
  `(1)/(3) *(1)/(5) =(1)/(3*5) =(1)/(15)` so this is the correct answer, since the other options does not result in
  `(1)/(15)`
