3/5 is the same as 6/10. 9 divided by 10 = 0.9
0.9 x 6 = 5.4
Therefore, 3/5 of 9 = 5.4
Answer:
The above answer is incorrect. The question is what is 9 MINUS 3/5 not what is 3/5 of 9.
Answer =
Since three fifths is less than one then the problem "simplifies" to (1 minus 3/5) and add that result to 8 (since 9-1 is 8).
Since there are five fifths (by definition) in 1 and 5-3 =2 then the answer is 2/5 plus the 8 we ignored = 8 and 2/5.
