Answer: 3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, if we have:
"3 copies of a number B"
This is written as:
3*B
And we have that the number B is "5 tenths"
Now, a tenth is the first digit after the decimal point.
Then 5 tenths = 5*0.1 = 0.5
B = 0.5
3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5
