Yes, let's check your calculation to make sure it is correct.
To find how many apples Ron used for pies, we need to multiply the fraction 2/5 by the total number of apples he had, which is 20.
2/5 x 20/1
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together:
2 x 20 = 40
5 x 1 = 5
The result is:
40/5
To simplify this fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
40 ÷ 5 = 8
So, Ron used 8 apples for pies.
Your calculation is correct!
