Answer 1

Harry sold 8 2/5 boxes of candy

Explanation:

Last month, Regan and Harry sold candy to raise money for their debate team.

We are told:

Harry sold 2 times and much candy as Regan did.

Regan sold 4 1/5 boxes of candy,

The number of boxes of candy that Harry sold =

4 1/5 boxes of candy × 2

= 21/5 × 2

= 42/5

= 8 2/5 boxes of candy.

Therefore, Harry sold 8 2/5 boxes of candy
