a. 5/6
b. 1 and one-fifth
c. 11
d. 30

Answer 1

Julissa gave out a total of 30 oranges, by multiplying the number of apartments (6) by the number of oranges each received (5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking a question related to basic arithmetic which involves multiplication to find the total number of oranges distributed. Julissa distributed oranges to each of the 6 apartments, and each apartment received 5 oranges. To find out the total number of oranges she gave out, we need to multiply the number of apartments by the number of oranges per apartment.

So the calculation we perform is: 6 apartments × 5 oranges per apartment = 30 oranges.
