Question

Anita and Divya preparing for their exam. Anita says that
$3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{78}{5}$.
But, Divya says $3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{76}{5}$.
Which of them is right? ___

Answer 1

Given: Anita says $3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{78}{5}$.

Divya says $3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{76}{5}$.

By solving $3\times 5\frac{1}{5}$ we get,

$3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=3\times \frac{25+1}{5}=3\times \frac{26}{5}=\frac{78}{5}$

Hence, Anita is correct, $3\times 5\frac{1}{5}=\frac{78}{5}$.
