The word 'of' automatically tells us that we have to multiply between the two given values:
3 x 75
5
= 225/5
= 45
Thus 3/5th of 75 is 45.
What we could also have done here is divide 75 into five equal parts (75/5 = 15). In this way we would have found 1/5th of 75. Then 3/5th would have been 15x5=45.
Thus 45 is 3/5th of 75.
