Question

$60:(5\times3)=$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's write division as a fraction

00:08 Let's break down 60 into factors 20 and 3

00:14 Let's reduce what we can

00:18 Let's break down 20 into factors 5 and 4

00:24 Let's reduce what we can

00:27 And this is the solution to the question

We write the exercise in fraction form:

$\frac{60}{5\times3}$

We break down 60 into a multiplication exercise:

$\frac{20\times3}{5\times3}=$

We simplify the 3s and obtain:

$\frac{20}{5}$

We break down the 5 into a multiplication exercise:

$\frac{5\times4}{5}=$

We simplify the 5 and obtain:

$\frac{4}{1}=4$

$4$
