Question

Mike put 400 baseballs into 10 trash bins. He put the same number of baseballs in each bin. He took 5 trash bins of baseballs to the baseball field. How many baseballs did Mike take?

Answer 1

200 baseballs

Explanation:

Mike put 400 baseballs into 10 trash bins. He put the same number of baseballs in each bin.

Hence, the number of baseballs he puts in each bin is:

400 / 10 = 40 baseballs

He took 5 trash bins of baseballs. This means that the number of baseballs he took is:

5 * 40 = 200 baseballs

He took 200 baseballs.
