An illustrative and appealing image depicting a group of people of varying genders and descents having a fun time at a baseball game. They are all sitting in the audience seats, each of them clutching a bag of peanuts, with each bag clearly showing that it's 2/5 full. Around them, spectators are cheering, vendors are shouting, and on the field, a baseball game is in motion. There's also a few extra bags of peanuts lying on their laps or a nearby table, giving the notion that they could have bought less.

Several friends each had 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left over from a baseball game. They realized that they could have bought 2 fewer bags of peanuts between them. How many friends went to the game

Well, each friend has 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left.

1 friend = 2/5 of a bag of peanuts left - 0.4 left

The goal here is to figure out how many people with that amount equal 2 for the amounts of peanuts.

So, we'll go one at a time.

2 friends = 4/5 of a bag of peanuts left together. - 0.8 left

3 friends = 6/5 of a bag of peanuts left together. - 1.2 left

4 friends = 8/5 of a bag of peanuts left together. - 1.6 left

5 friends = 10/5 of a bag of peanuts left together. - 2 left

So, there are 5 friends total.

I hope this helps! :)

Keeping it simple, how many 5ths are in the 2 "extra" bags? 2=10/5. How many bag "remainders" of 2/5ths are needed to equal 10/5? The answer is 5!

2/5 + 2/5 + 2/5 + 2/5 + 2/5 = 10/5

That helps a lot thanks

It’s 5

It is 5

hi

there only 2 bags

I mean there's only 2 bags

That is correct good answer. I have a phd

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is that there were 5 friends that went to the game. To see why, you can use the same equations as above:

2/5 = x * 1/2

If we subtract 2 from both sides, we get:

3/5 = x

B - 2 = x

B = x + 2

R + B = x + 2

Substituting the values we calculated above for B and x on the right-hand side of the equation:

R + (x + 2) = x + 2

We can simplify this equation to find the value of R:

R = 10/5 = 2

Therefore, there were 2 bags of peanuts left over between the friends. To figure out how many friends there were, we can divide the amount of leftover peanuts by the amount of peanuts each friend had:

2 / (2/5) = 5

So there were 5 friends that went to the game.
