- 15 x (¹/₅ x 12)
- The result is 36
Further explanation
The Problem:
- 15 times as much as 1 fifth of 12.
- Write an expression to match, and then evaluate.
The Process:
Here are some early expressions that need attention.
- 1 fifth is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}\)
- 1 fifth of 12 is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{5} \times 12}\)
Let us write an expression to match for 15 times as much as 1 fifth of 12.
\(\boxed{\boxed{ \ 15 \times \bigg(\frac{1}{5} \times 12 \bigg) \ }}\)
And now we evaluate the expression.
\(\boxed{ \ = 15 \times \bigg(\frac{1}{5} \times 12 \bigg) \ }\)
\(\boxed{ \ = 15 \times \frac{12}{5} \ }\)
We cross out 15 and 5 because they both can be divided.
\(\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{12}{1} \ }\)
\(\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 12 \ }\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{ \ 36 \ }}\)
Thus, the result is 36.
