one fifth divided by one third is 3 fifths
One fifth
if you mean 5/10 (5 divided into 10) and 3/6 (3 divided into 6) yes, they are the same. If you simplify them and say a fifth of five is one and a fifth of ten is two. A third of three is one and a third of six is two; both answers are 1/2 which is the same answer for both.
One third equals 3 over 15. Two fifths equals 6 over 15. So no.
This is a single-equation algebra problem, and can be stated using the variable T to stand for the number of Third Grade students (our answer).The equation is Fifth Grade + Fourth Grade + Third Grade = 33 total members.In terms of T, this is (T+6) + (T) + (T) = 33Which reduces to 3T + 6 = 33 and 3T = 27 and T = 9.There are 9 third-grade students, 9 fourth-grade students, and 15 fifth-grade students = 33.
