Question

Chloe collected 4 times as many bags of cans as her friend. If her friend collected 1/6 of a bag , how much did Chloe collect?

Answer 1

Chloe collected 2/3 of a bag

Explanation:

Answer 2

Since Chloe collected 4 times as much as her friend, who collected 1/6 a bag, you will have to multiply 4 by 1/6 to find how much Chloe collected.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Then you put the product you got from multiplying the numerators over the product you got from multiplying the denominators. Remember that 4 is the same as 4/1. Simplify the product if needed.:

`(4)/(1) * (1)/(6) = (4)/(6) = (2)/(3)`

Chloe collected 2/3 of a bag.
