=How much is 3/5 of $10 and show your work please?
3/5 * 10 or 3/5 * 10/1
30/5 = 6 or $6
the pie analogy works for me here
the $10 is a pie, now divide the pie into as many pieces as the denominator is.
the pie is $10 divided into 5 pieces = $2 pieces
the fraction 3/5 means that you are keeping 3 of those 5 pieces
3 pieces = $6
