Answer:

Ellie can buy 8 chicken wings

Explanation:

From what we know, Ellie was able to by 5 chicken wings for $10, when dividing 10 by 5 we now know that each chicken wing could've cost her $2. So in order to find out how many chicken wings she can buy we can divide 16 by 2 and get 8. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

In all, she bought 8, or three more.

Explanation:

If 5 chicken wings are for ten dollars, that means each wing is 2 dollars.

If each wing is two dollars then you divide the sixteen dollars by 2 dollars getting 8 wings.
