    In order to solve this equation you will have to add 4/5 five times: (counting Ashley herself)

    4×1=4

    5×1=5

    +

    4×1=4

    5×1=5

    4+4=8

    =8/5

    4×1=4

    5×1=5

    +

    4×1=4

    5×1=5

    4+4=8

    =8/5

    8×1=8

    5×1=5

    +

    4×1=4

    5×1=5

    8+4=12

    =12/5

    12×1=12

    5×1=5

    +

    8×1=8

    5×1=5

    8+12=20

    =20/5

    20÷5=4

    Therefore if Ashley adds all the candy together they will get “4 whole bags of candy.”
