In a foreign country, half of 5 = 3. Based on that same proportion, what's one-third of 10?

1.5 would be the answer because if you multiply 5 x 2= 10 right. so instead of multiplying 3 x 2 you would multiply 3 x .5= 1.5. do you understand?
I think so.

[tex]half\ of\ 5\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times5=2.5\approx3\\\\therefore\ in\ a\ foreign\ country\ half\ of\ 5=3\\\\\frac{1}{3}\times10=3\frac{1}{3}\approx3\\\\threfore\ on\ that\ same\ proportion\ one-third\ of\ 10=3[/tex]
