Answer 1

Answer:

$3\frac{1}{8}$ packages of marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Vince needed five eights of a package of marbles for each gift bag. He had to make five gift bags. We are asked to find the number of packages of marbles that Vince needs.

To find the number of packages that Vince needs, we will multiply package needed for each gift with total number of gift packages.

$\text{Number of packages that Vince needs}=\frac{5}{8}\times 5$

$\text{Number of packages that Vince needs}=\frac{5\times 5}{8}$

$\text{Number of packages that Vince needs}=\frac{25}{8}$

$\text{Number of packages that Vince needs}=3\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, Vince needs $3\frac{1}{8}$ packages of marbles.
