Given that Mrs. Baker phone 25 shells on the beach, and the brought 2/5 of the shells to class.


\begin{gathered} \text{total T = 25} \\ \text{fraction brought to class }f(C)=(2)/(5) \end{gathered}

The number of shells she bring to class will be the product of the fraction and the total;


\begin{gathered} n(C)=f(C)* T \\ n(C)=(2)/(5)*25 \\ n(C)=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of shells she bring to class is;


10
