bins

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation: To find out how many bins of bottles Hayley collected, we need to first determine how many bins Dakota collected. We are given that Dakota collected 1/2 of a bin of glass bottles to recycle.

Next, we are told that Hayley collected 9 times as many bins as Dakota. This means that Hayley collected 9 * (1/2) = 9/2 bins of glass bottles.

To express this as a whole or mixed number, we can simplify the fraction. 9/2 can be simplified to 4 and 1/2. Therefore, Hayley collected 4 and 1/2 bins of glass bottles.

So, the answer is 4 and 1/2 bins.
