Question

If it takes 9 1/2 bags of sand to fill 2 1/2 sandboxes how much sand does it take to fill one sandbox

Answer 1

We can set up the proportion as follows:
$\frac{9.5}{2.5} = \frac{x}{1}$
We cross multiply, and get x = 3.8, which is 3 4/5 as a fraction. It takes 3 4/5 bags of sand to fill one sandbox.
