Question

how many copies of 5 fifths are in 18 fifths?
there are copies of 5 fifths in 18 fifths.

Explanation:

Represent the fractions

We represent the given fractions mathematically.
"5 fifths" is represented as:

$$ \frac{5}{5} = 1 $$

"18 fifths" is represented as:

$$ \frac{18}{5} $$

Set up the division

To find how many copies of \(1\) are in \(\frac{18}{5}\), we divide:

$$ \frac{18}{5} \div 1 = \frac{18}{5} $$

Convert to a mixed number

We express the division as a mixed number to find the whole number of copies.

$$ \frac{18}{5} = 3 \frac{3}{5} $$

This means there are \(3\) full copies of \(5\) fifths, with a remainder of \(3\) fifths.
