Question

Last month, Grayson and Justine sold candy to raise money for their debate team. Justine sold 1 1/5 times as much candy as Grayson did. If Grayson sold 2/3 of a box of candy, how many boxes of candy did Justine sell?

Answer 1

Answer: 4/5 of a box of candy

Explanation:

Justine sold 1¹/₅ times the ²/₃ of a box of candy that Grayson sold.

Justin sold;

= 1¹/₅ * ²/₃

= 6/5 * 2/3

= 12/15

= 4/5 of a box of candy
