Ayana operates an orange juice stand. On Monday she used 1/2 of a bag of oranges. On Tuesday she used 1/5 as many oranges as on Monday. How many bags of oranges did Ayana use on Tuesday?
7/20
it is wrong
1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10
You tried to figure how many apples she used on both days. And you got that wrong. 1/2 + 1/5 = 7/10, not 7/20
In fact, she used 1/2 + 1/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
To determine the number of bags of oranges Ayana used on Tuesday, we need to find 1/5th of the bag of oranges that she used on Monday.
First, let's find out how many bags of oranges Ayana used on Monday.
Given that Ayana used 1/2 of a bag of oranges on Monday, we can represent this as: 1/2
Now, let's find 1/5th of 1/2 bag of oranges to determine how many bags of oranges Ayana used on Tuesday.
To find 1/5th of 1/2 bag, we need to multiply 1/2 by 1/5.
(1/2) x (1/5) = 1/10
Therefore, Ayana used 1/10 of a bag of oranges on Tuesday.
