Bryce

Bryce collected 1/4 of a bin of glass bottles to recycle. Megan collected 5 times as many bins as Bryce. How many bins of bottles did Megan collect?

Correct answer:

M =  5/4 = 1 ¹⁄₄

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} B=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \\ M=5\cdot B=5\cdot \frac{1}{4}=\frac{5\cdot 1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}=1.25 \end{gathered}$$
