2/5 = 12[divide both sides by 2 to get singular unit]1/5 = 6[multiply both sides by 5 to get whole number]5/5 = 30So 30 pieces in a whole. 🙂Reply
We need more info then that
Yes you are right the correct answer is b
2/5 = 12
[divide both sides by 2 to get singular unit]
1/5 = 6
[multiply both sides by 5 to get whole number]
5/5 = 30
So 30 pieces in a whole. 🙂
