• A. $1\frac{2}{10}$
• B. $1\frac{3}{10}$
• C. $1\frac{4}{10}$
• D. $1\frac{5}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1\frac{3}{10}$

Sujana asks for two and three-fifths gallons of chocolate almond milk.
$2\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2\times 5+3}{5}=\frac{13}{5}$ gallons
Chocolate milk is divided equally in 10 different packs. Hence, each pack contains
$2\frac{3}{5}÷10=\frac{13}{5}÷10=\frac{13}{5}÷\frac{10}{1}$
$=\frac{13}{5}\times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{13}{50}$ gallons.
$\therefore \frac{13}{50}$ gallons of special milk will be there in each of 10 packs.

Now, gallons of special milk in 5 packs would be
$\frac{13}{50}\times 5=\frac{13}{50}\times \frac{5}{1}$
$=\frac{13\times 5}{50\times 1}$
$=\frac{13}{10}=\frac{1\times 10+3}{10}=1\frac{3}{10}$ gallons
