Answer 1

Max collected 4/5 of a bin of glass bottles to recycle. Tanner collected 4 times as many bins as Max. Tanner collected 16 bins of bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many bins of bottles Tanner collected, we first need to determine how many bins Max collected. Max collected 4/5 of a bin of glass bottles to recycle. This means that Max collected 4 out of 5 equal parts of a bin. To find how many bins Max collected, we can divide 4/5 by 1/5 (which is one equal part of a bin). This gives us 4/5 ÷ 1/5 = 4.

Tanner collected 4 times as many bins as Max. Since Max collected 4 bins, Tanner collected 4 x 4 = 16 bins.
