Answer:

B. 30

Explanation:

What we know: Beyunka has 6 baseballs that she keeps. That is 1/5 of the total that comes in one case.

What we need to know: How many baseballs are in one case?

What we need to do: Divide 6 by 1/5 (or multiply by 5).

6 / (1/5)

Dividing a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by its inverse.

6 * 5

Multiply 6 by 5 to get 30.

30

There are 30 baseballs in one case, so B is our answer.
