How to Write the Word Sentence as an Equation?
That's easy!
Let's say the number is x.
x multiplied by [tex]\displaystyle\frac{2}{5}[/tex] is [tex]\displaystyle\frac{3}{20}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{2}{5} x=\frac{3}{20}[/tex]
Notice that we write the number before the variable.
Now, let's solve.
Step number 1:
Divide both sides by [tex]\displaystyle\frac{2}{5}[/tex].
Wait, how do we divide fractions?
[tex]\bigstar[/tex] We take the fraction that we divide by and flop it over.
[tex]\bigstar[/tex] Then, we multiply the first fraction times the one that we flopped over.
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{2}{5} x=\frac{3}{20} \\x=\displaystyle\frac{3}{20} :\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=\displaystyle\frac{3}{20}*\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Now, all we have to do is multiply 3 by 5 and 20 by 2:
[tex]x=\displaystyle\frac{15}{40}[/tex]
Simplify by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5:
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!
Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
