This type of operation is common when applying fractions to quantities, such as finding portions of a total. The word \u201cof\u201d in mathematics usually means multiplication, so: 56&nbsp;of&nbsp;48=56\u00d748\\frac{5}{6} \\text{ of } 48 = \\frac{5}{6} \\times 48<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To carry out this multiplication, first multiply the numerator (the top of the fraction) by the whole number: 5\u00d748=2405 \\times 48 = 240<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then divide the result by the denominator (the bottom of the fraction): 2406\\frac{240}{6}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now simplify the fraction. Divide 240 by 6: 240\u00f76=40240 \\div 6 = 40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 56\\frac{5}{6} of 48 equals <strong>40<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re asked for the answer <strong>in fractions<\/strong>, you can express the unsimplified form 2406\\frac{240}{6} as the answer, or show that it simplifies cleanly to the whole number 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of calculation is useful in real-life scenarios like budgeting, cooking, or splitting quantities. For example, if a recipe calls for 56\\frac{5}{6} of a cup of sugar and you have a full cup (48 teaspoons), you would use 40 teaspoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conceptually, fractions represent parts of a whole. Here, 56\\frac{5}{6} means 5 parts out of 6 equal parts. So if you divide 48 into 6 equal parts (each part is 8), then 5 of those parts (5 \u00d7 8) gives you 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding this helps build a strong foundation in both arithmetic and real-world problem-solving involving proportions and ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner7-12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223005\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is 5\/6 of 48?
