Why is 5 multiplied by 0 equals 0?
Imagine you have apples that you have put into groups, with each group having 5 apples in it. If you take one group, you have 5 apples. This is the same as 5 x 1. 5 is how many apples per group you have. 1 is how many groups you take. If you take two groups of apples, you have 10 apples. This is the same as 5 x 2. Now consider if you don't take any groups of apples. How many apples would you have? You wouldn't have any. This is the same as 5 x 0.
How do you get the numerator?
The numerator is how much of the denominator. For example, if you have 3 green apples and 2 red apples, the total amount of apples is the denominator, 5. so, 3/5 of the apples are green, and 2/5 of the apples are red.
Is 3 8ths more than 5 8ths?
No, 3/8 is not bigger than 5/8. There are 8/8 in the whole. Think 8 apples. 3 apples are less than 5 apples.
I have 5 apples and you have 2 of them how many do I have?
you have 3
In a bag of 5 apples there are 3 red and 2 yellow what is the percent of apples that are red?
3 out of 5 apples are red. That's three fifths, or 3 over 5 = 3/5. To convert this to a percentage we multiply by 100%/1. 3x100/5x1 = 300/5 % = 60% By decimal: 3/5= 0.6. 0.6 x 100 = 60%
