Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Tisha used "x" bags of hot dog buns on Wednesday.
Then, on Thursday she used 1/5 as many hot dog buns as she used on Wednesday, which is 1/5*x.
We know that on Wednesday she used 5/8 of a bag of hot dog buns, so we can set up the equation:
5/8x = amount of buns used on Wednesday
And on Thursday, she used 1/5 of that amount, so we can multiply by 1/5:
(5/8x) * (1/5) = amount of buns used on Thursday
Simplifying this expression:
5/8x * 1/5 = 1/8x
So Tisha used 1/8 of x bags of hot dog buns on Thursday.
We don't know the exact value of x, but we do know that it's a positive number (since she used some buns on Wednesday). Therefore, we can say that the amount of buns used on Thursday is less than the amount used on Wednesday (since 1/8 is less than 5/8).
In conclusion, we can't give a specific number of bags of hot dog buns used on Thursday without knowing how many she used on Wednesday, but we can say for certain that she used less on Thursday than on Wednesday.
