Question

A store had 4 boxes of video games. How many days would it take to sell the games if each day they sold 1/5 of a box?

Answer 1

The answer would be 20. Since the store sells 1/5th of a box each day, it takes 5 days to sell one box. There are four boxes, so multiply 5 by 4 and you get 20.

Answer 2

Answer: It will take 20 days

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation.

The amount of boxes the store sells per day (1/5) multiplied by the number of days (x) must be equal to 4 boxes.

Mathematically speaking:

1/5 x =4

Solving for x

x = 4 / (1/5)

x = 20 days

It will take 20 days
