Last month, Brenna and Richard sold candy to raise money for their debate team. Richard sold 1/2 as much candy as Brenna did. If Brenna sold 1/5 of a box of candy, how many boxes of candy did Richard sell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Richard sold [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] box of the candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of boxes sold by Brenna = [tex]\frac15[/tex]

We need to find the number of boxes sold by Richard.

Solution:

Now given:

Richard sold 1/2 as much candy as Brenna did.

So we can say that;

Number of boxes sold by Richard is equal to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] multiplied by Number of boxes sold by Brenna.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of boxes sold by Richard = [tex]\frac12\times\frac15=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Hence Richard sold [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] box of the candy.
