Question

If sugarless gum sells at 2 pieces for $.25, then what would 10 pieces cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

My answer is 10 pieces = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 pieces cost $.25 then you need to multiply $.25/2, because $.25 is for two pieces. So, when you divide that you get $0.125 so then take the $0.125 and multiply by 10 to get $1.25.

ALTERNATE SOLUTION:

If 2 pieces cost $.25 then you need to multiply $.25 x 5, because $.25 is for 2 pieces. So, when you multiply that you get $1.25.
