Question

Robyn filled

of a bin of plastic bottles to recycle. Carmen collected 9 times as many bins as Robyn.















How many bins of plastic bottles did Carmen collect?

Answer 1

Carmen called 6 bins of plastic bottles.

Using the information given :

• Let number collected by Robyn = r

Number collected by Carmen :

• c = 9 × Number collected by Robyn

From the diagram, Robyn collected: 2/3

Now we have :

2/3 × 9 = (18/3) = 6

Hence, Carmen called 6 bins of plastic bottles.
