A "fifth" is equal to one fifth of a gallon. Therefore, five fifths would be equal to one gallon.
A "fifth" is now sold in 750 ml (where ml means milliliter) containers (although still called a "fifth") and 750 ml can be written as 0.75 L (where "L" means Liter) which is the same as 3/4 of a Liter. Therefore, five 750 ml (0.75 L) containers would be equal to 3.75 L.
An equation for this could look like:
One Fifth of Liquor ~ 750 ml = 0.75 L = 3/4 L, therefore,
5 x One Fifth of Liquor ~ 5 x 750 ml = 5 x 0.75 L = 5 x 3/4 L, therefore,
One Gallon ~ 3,750 ml = 3.75 L = 3 & 3/4 L
or more simply, 5 Fifths of Liquor is considered equal to 3 Liters & one Fifth... or a gallon if they sell your brand that way.
three fifths. it can be 6/10. if you put one half in those terms of multiplying by 10 it would be 5/10.
11/25 is proper fraction in lowest terms. It is a rational number. It equals 44% and 0.44 .
No, fifths are smaller than tenths. In terms of fractions, a fifth is equal to 1/5 while a tenth is equal to 1/10. Therefore, a fifth is larger than a tenth.
First we change them into like terms, which can be thirtieths. 5 sixths is 25 thirtieths. 1 fifth is 6 thirtieths. The result is 19 thirtieths, which cannot be simplified any further.
three fifths
Four fifths
3/7
Four tenths in lowest terms is 2/5 or two fifths.
The Three Fifths Compromise solved the problem of how population should be counted in slave states in terms of representation in Congress as well as tax purposes. Since black slaves made up a significant part of the population in the southern states, and they did not have the right to vote, it was declared that the slaves would represent three fifths of a white person. Short answer: allowed the slaves states to count a slave as three fifths of a person
it is reduced my 3 to three fifths
2/5
Yes. Just divide each by the greatest common factor to get lowest terms.
