Question #a3bb8

Answer 1

`$40`

Explanation:

One third of `$120`

We need to rewrite this into math language: "one third" is the same as `1/3`

"Of" means multiply

Now we have an expression we can simplify: `1/3 xx 120`

`120/3 = (60 xx 2)/3 = (30 xx 2 xx 2)/3 = (10 xx cancel(3) xx 2 xx 2)/cancel(3) = 40`
