▄︻デȺꞥꞩⱳēɍ══━一 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.” Reply

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.”
