Question

the whole 5th grade is starting new reading log competition. mr. Marsh is planning to buy each scholar in the winning advisory a prize. if he can spend $75 on one-sixth of the winning advisory how much can he spend on the whole advisory?

Answer 1

If Mr. Marsh can spend $75 on one-sixth, it menas that $75 is equal to 1/6 of the advisory.

`75\Rightarrow(1)/(6)`

if we want to know the whole, it can be represented as a 1.

`\begin{gathered} 75\Rightarrow(1)/(6) \\ x\Rightarrow1 \end{gathered}`

solve the relationship

`\begin{gathered} x=(1\cdot75)/((1)/(6)) \\ x=(1\cdot75)\cdot6 \\ x=450 \end{gathered}`

According to this Mr. Marsh can spend $450 on the whole advisory.
