33 sixths
five-tenths = 1/2 therefore, three-sixths = five-tenths
Seven eights is slightly larger then five sixths.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some fractions here. So, five sixths of two is 10/6, and two fifths is 4/5. When you add them together, you get 10/6 + 4/5, which simplifies to 50/30 + 24/30, giving you a grand total of 74/30. Math can be fun, right?
12 * 5/6 = (12*5)/6 = 60/6 = 10
