Question

A pack of bubble gum costs $\$\frac{5}{6}$. What will the total cost of $4$ such packs be?

• A. $\$\frac{20}{24}$
• B. $\$\frac{20}{6}$
• C. $\$\frac{5}{24}$
• D. $\$\frac{4}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\$\frac{20}{6}$

Cost of one pack of bubble gum $=\$\frac{5}{6}$
Number of packs $=4$
Cost of $4$ packs $=\frac{5}{6}\times 4$
We can find the product of $\frac{5}{6}\times 4$ as shown in the given image.

$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times 4}{6}=\frac{20}{6}$
Thus, $4$ packs of bubble gum will cost $\$\frac{20}{6}$.
