20/5=4 (to find a fifth of 20 apples)
4x2=8 (to find what 2 fifths is)

He used 8 apples

The best way to do this one is by multiplication. If you have two dozens of eggs, you multiply two by a dozen to find out how many eggs you have: 2*12=24. Similarly, if you have two fifths of 20 apples, you multiply 2/5 by 20 to find out how many apples you have: (2/5)*20 = 8.

yaroslaw [1]

This question is based on least common multiple method.

As given in the question,

Aunts are taking pictures in group of = 5

Uncles are taking pictures in group of = 10

So we have been asked what is the minimum number of aunts Sana have.

As we have been given that the number of aunts and uncles is equal so to find the minimum number of aunts we will apply the least common multiple method.

So we get LCM of 5,10 as 10

Hence there are minimum 10 aunts.
