Juliette David · Answer 1

So one third means you mutilply by 3 so 3x5 is 15 model cars

Lazarus · Answer 2

Ask yourself "1/3 of what number is 5?" Then write your algebraic equation from the question ...

1/3 * x = 5

Now solve

1/3x = 5

x = 5 : 1/3

x = 5 * 3/1

x = 15

1/3 of 15 is 5. He has 15 cars.
