They've decided to keep some fresh herbs in the kitchen. Max buys 25 small pots for variety, but due to limited space on the windowsill, decides to use only [tex]$\frac{3}{5}$[/tex] of them. How many herb pots will they display?

A. 10 pots
B. 12 pots
C. 18 pots
D. 15 pots



Answer :

To determine how many herb pots Max will display, we need to find [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] of the total number of pots he bought, which is 25.

1. Start by understanding that the fraction [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] represents the portion of the total pots he will use.
2. To find this portion, multiply the total number of pots by the fraction:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{5} \times 25 \][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 25 \times \frac{3}{5} = 15 \][/tex]

Therefore, Max will display 15 herb pots.

The correct answer is:
15 pots.
