Answer 2

Sorry I was afk

Answer 3

Which do you think?

Answer 4

take 1/15 and 1/3 and flip 1/3 to 3/1. so what is 1 • 3? and 1 • 15?

Answer 5

Hello?

Answer 6

the answer should be 15 hours

Answer 7

No direct answers and it's not 15

Answer 8

1 • 3 = 3

1 • 15 = 15 3/15 now you can flip it again for a whole instead of a reminder so 15/3 and that is 5 because 15 ÷ 3 = 5. Now I have done this problem before and this is correct and if you wanted to, in the beginning you could have flipped 1/15 instead of 1/3, but that's not really recommended for other equations

Answer 9

and also we are looking for a whole number for this question so it would make more sense for flipping 1/15 or 3/15
