Question

Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided.

Create a real-life representation of the following multiplication problem. Explain what the result represents in the problem.



15 (2/5)=6

Answer 1

Answer: In a real-life representation of the multiplication problem "15 (2/5) = 6," we can imagine a bag of 15 items, each of which is 2/5 of a whole. To find out how many whole items are in the bag, we can multiply 15 (the number of items) by 2/5 (the fraction of each item that is a whole).

The result of 6 represents the number of whole items in the bag.
