Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Work out what 1/5 of 12 is
To do this, we divide 12 by 5
12/5 = 2.4
2) Multiply 2.4 by 15
2.4 x 15 = 36
If you don't like decimals, you can also do it this way...
This can be rewritten as 15 x 1/5 x 12
Multiplications alone can be performed in any order
1) Work out what 1/5 of 15 is
1/5 of 15
15/5 = 3
2) 3 multiplied by 12
3 x 12 = 36
