What is a fifth of 60?

a f i f t h → 5 1 ​ a f i f t h o f 60 = 5 1 ​ ∗ 60 = 1 ∗ 12 = 12 ​

60/5= 12 The reason this works is because 1/5 of 60 is when 60 is split into 5 equally sized parts and you take just 1 of them. If you divide 60 by 5, you get the number of times that 5 goes into 60. That means that the answer, which is 12, multiplied by 5=60. Because 12 goes in to 60 exactly 5 times, 12 is one of those 5 equal parts that make up 60, so is 1/5 of 60. I know this is a bad explanation, but I hope it helped.

A fifth of 60 is found by multiplying 60 by 5 1 ​ , which equals 12. This division into equal parts allows us to determine the value of each part clearly. Therefore, each fifth of 60 is 12.
