Question

Kendall went to the candy store and bought 2 pounds of candy. If 1/5 of Kendall's candy was chocolate, how many pounds of chocolate candy did Kendall buy?

Answer 1

The answer is 1/10

This is simple division

The equation is (1/5÷2)

I did my work on a sheet of paper so i know i did this correctly

My explanation of my work:

Keep change flip is the operation used here

So you keep 1/5 ,change the division sign to multiplication and flip the 2/1 into 1/2 so the new equation is (1/5x1/2) the answer to that is 1/10

Have an amazing day :)
