Answer

<br />"Of" in mathematics usually means multiplication. Here, \( \frac{2}{5} \) of 140 means \( \frac{2}{5} \) multiplied by 140. We can write 140 as a fraction: \( 140 = \frac{140}{1} \)<br /><br />Now, proceed to work it out:<br /><br />Multiply the numerators first, then the denominators.<br /><br />\(\frac {2}{5} \times \frac{140}{1} = \frac {2 \times 140} {5 \times 1} = \frac {280} {5} = 56 \)<br /><br />Therefore, \( \frac{2}{5} \) of 140 equals 56.
