1)when you multiply a fraction times a whole number, always try to divide the bottom number into the whole number and then multiply times the top number.

2) 2/5 of 5=2 (of means to multiply)

3) 3/4 of 12=9 (4 goes into 12 three times, then multiply it times the top number of 3.

4) 6/11 of 44=24

The answer is 2…you get this by multiplying 2/5 times 5/1, which equals 10/5, which is reduced to 2.

2/5 of 5 is 1/5 because you write 2/5 divided by 5/1 ( which equals 5 ) and then write it in the resiprical and multiply which eqauls 2/5 X 1/5 wich equals 2/10 and it reduces to 1/5 . Hope I helped !! :]

this is my theory:

divide the whole number (5) by the bottom number from the fraction (also 5 in this case). then multiply that by the top number from the fraction.

thus: 5/5 = 1………..1 multiply by 2 = 2.

It is two.

2 5

—- x —-

5 1

You cross multiply the 5’s and end up with 2/1, which is 2.
