Oobleck, thank you! I didn't come here for the answer, I just came here because I didn't know if it was multiplication of division. Thank you very much!
can I get an answer
soo, what's the answer
To solve this problem, you need to multiply the weight of the bag by the fraction that represents how much she has used.
First, you multiply the weight of the bag (9 pounds) by the numerator of the fraction (4):
9 pounds * 4 = 36 pounds
Then, you divide the result by the denominator of the fraction (5):
36 pounds ÷ 5 = 7.2 pounds
Therefore, Jill has used 7.2 pounds of cat food from the bag.
"of" almost always means "multiply"
she has used 4/5 "of" 9
what is 4/5 * 9 ?
