Stacy

Stacy collected 4 bins of glass bottles to recycle. Tessa collected 1 1/5 times as many bins as Stacy. How many bins of bottles did Tessa collect?

Correct answer:

T =  4 ⁴⁄₅ = 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} S=4 \\ r=1\frac{1}{5}=1+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\cdot 5+1}{5}=\frac{5+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}=1\frac{1}{5}=1.2 \\ T=r\cdot S=\frac{6}{5}\cdot 4=\frac{6\cdot 4}{5}=\frac{24}{5}=4\frac{4}{5}=4.8 \end{gathered}$$
