Question

Sandra is setting up a party. She has 7 bowls to put

candy in. If she wants to put 1/5 of a bag of candy in
each bowl, how many bags of candy will she use?

Answer 1

7/5 = 1 2/5

Explanation:

You need to multiply the number of bowls filled, by the amount of candy that goes into each bowl.

There are 7 bowls to fill and 1/5 of a bag of candy goes in each bowl.

7 * 1/5 = 7/5

This works out to 7/5 or 1 and 2/5.
