Question

How many $0.12 pencils can I buy with $4.80?

Answer 1

4.80/0.12 = 40. So you can buy 40 pencils.

Answer 2

You can buy 40 pencils if they each cost $0.12

Work: 0.12 x 40 = 4.8

Work: 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 + 0.12 = 4.8

Hope I was able to help! :)
