Your answer to the question is 4!

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

In order to solve this equation you will have to add 4/5 five times: (counting Ashley herself)

4×1=4

5×1=5

+

4×1=4

5×1=5

4+4=8

=8/5

4×1=4

5×1=5

+

4×1=4

5×1=5

4+4=8

=8/5

8×1=8

5×1=5

+

4×1=4

5×1=5

8+4=12

=12/5

12×1=12

5×1=5

+

8×1=8

5×1=5

8+12=20

=20/5

20÷5=4

Therefore if Ashley adds all the candy together they will get "4 whole bags of candy."

Hope this helps!
