There are 15 because 15/5 = 3
that's an easy one! there is 16 fifths in 3 and 1 fifth
Oh, what a lovely question! If you have 3 wholes and you want to see how many one-fifths are in them, you simply divide 3 by 1/5. That means you would have 15 one-fifths in 3 wholes. Isn't that just a happy little math problem?
15
No because eight fifths would become 1 and 3 fifths
One is five fifths. Five fifths and four fifths is nine fifths.

3
Expressed with a denominator of 5, 1 3/5 is equal to 8/5 or eight fifths.
15
One fifth PLUS two fifths = 3 fifths
3 and 3/5
This is the same as asking how many 1/5 (one fifths) are in 3.0. There are 5 fifths (5 x 1/5) in one, so there would be 3 times that many in 3. Or, 3 x 5 = 15. So, you can take 15 fifths from three.
16.
5/3 of them.
There are five fifths in one anything.
Sixteen fifths or 3 and one fifth.
5/5 + 3/5 = 8/5 8 fifths.
