O 11/20
O 2/6

5) Solve the word problem. Simplify, if possible.
Blaine sold 8 1/3 boxes of candy bars. Theresa sold 2 2/5 times that amount. How many boxes of candy bars did Theresa sell?
O 45 boxes
O 41 boxes
O 36 boxes
O 35 boxes

Answer

  1. 4) Multiply the fractions:
    \( \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{12}{4} = \frac{1 \times 12}{5 \times 4} = \frac{12}{20} = \frac{3}{5} \)
    None of the options match \( \frac{3}{5} \).

  2. 5) Convert 8 1/3 to an improper fraction:
    \( 8 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \)
    Multiply by 2 2/5:
    \( \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{25 \times 12}{3 \times 5} = \frac{300}{15} = 20 \)
    None of the options match 20.
