Answer 2

Answer:

Yung bought 46 pieces of bubble gum for $4.6

Explanation:

We are given that each piece of gum cost $0.1 and that he spent $4.6 on gums

To get the number of gums he bought, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:

1 piece .........................> 0.1

x pieces ......................> 4.6

Therefore:

$x = \frac{4.6*1}{0.1}= 46$ pieces of gum

Hope this helps :)
