A fish is 15cm long. The tail is ⅕ of the fish. How long is the tail?
15 ÷ 5 =3
3 x 5 = 15
⅕ of 15 is 3.So the fishtail is 3 cm long.
There are 18 slices of ham in a packet. Mum uses 1/6 to make the lunch, how much is left?
18 ÷ 6 = 3
3 x 6 = 18
Since there mum wants ⅙ then that is how it works.

30 ÷ 3 = 10
3 x 10 = 30
⅓ of 30 is 10.Because 3 x 10 = 30.
There were 35 people waiting for their turn on the Ferris Wheel. ⅕ got sick of waiting and left. How many are still waiting?
35 ÷ 5 = 7
7 x 5 = 35
⅕ of 35 is 7.Because 7 x 5 = 35
There are 24 students in the class. Only ¾  have brought their permission slips back. How many have brought their permission slips back?
24 ÷ 4 = 6
6 x 4 = 24
¾ of 24 is 6.
