Reasoning: To find the answer you have to multiply 9 x 5/6. Because 9 is a whole number, if we put it over 1 it makes it easier to multiply.
9/1 x 5/6 is 45/6.
Now that we have this, we need to find which answers are correct.
If we change 45/6 into a mixed number, we have to do 45 divided by 6. 45 divided by 6 is 7. 6 x 7= 42. 45-42=3 so the mixed number would be 7 3/6. 3/6 is equal to 1/2 so it can also be 7 1/2. This means A. Is correct.
For the next two multiple choice possible answers, they simplified 45/6. Both have a denominator (bottom of the fraction) of 2. This means we need to divide by a number that will make the denominator 2
45/6 divided by 3/3 will get 15/2. This means B. Is also correct.
Because A and B are correct, this means that C. Is not an equivalent answer.
I hope this helps! If you need any help let me know.
The answer would be C. You’re correct! Because there are 3 blue marbles @ $1 each that amounts to a possible $3 gain for Mark. Evan has the chance to get $4. Cayla also can make $3 like Mark.
