Real word Problem:- Jean is working in a pizza shop. She has 60 kg of flour. She has used one-fifth of it for making pizzas. How much flour she used for making pizzas?

Solution:- Quantity of flour she has= 60 kg

The quantity she used in making pizzas=\(\frac{1}{5}\ of\ 60\)

\(=\frac{1}{5}\times60=12\ kg\)

hence, she used 12 kg of flour for making pizzas.

Here the multiplication of a fraction and a whole number \(=\frac{1}{5}\times60\) and its answer is between 10 and 15, since 10<12<15.
