Question

Students in a sixth-grade class are raising money for an end-of-year camping trip. So far, they have raised $240. This is 2/5 of the cost of the trip.

1. Write a multiplication equation to represent this situation.

2. Write a division equation to represent this situation.

3. How much does the trip cost? Write your answer without the dollar sign.

Answer 1

600 dollars

Explanation:

I'm not sure of 1 and 2. 2/5 = 240 dollars so 1/5 is 120 dollars then 120 times 5 = 600 dollars

1. 1/5 = 120 times 5 = 600 dollars
2. 240/2 = 120 dollars
3. 600 dollars
