Select all the expressions that represent the following:
Anthony read 5/6
hour each day for 5 days.
A.5×1/6
B.5×5/6
C.5+5/6
D.5×5×1/6
E.5/1+5/1+5/1+5/1+5/1
I Already answered this, B. and D. !
The expression that represents Anthony reading for 5/6 hour each day for 5 days is:
B. 5 × 5/6
To solve this problem, we need to find the total number of hours that Anthony read over the period of 5 days. We are told that he read 5/6 hour each day.
To find the total number of hours, we need to multiply the hours per day (5/6) by the number of days (5).
Let's go through the expressions one by one:
A. 5 × 1/6: This expression does not represent the total number of hours. It only represents the hours per day multiplied by 1.
B. 5 × 5/6: This expression represents the total number of hours. It multiplies the hours per day (5/6) by the number of days (5).
C. 5 + 5/6: This expression does not represent the total number of hours. It only adds the hours per day (5/6) to 5.
D. 5 × 5 × 1/6: This expression does not represent the total number of hours. It multiplies the hours per day (5/6) by 5, and then multiplies the result by 1/6, which is unnecessary.
E. 5/1 + 5/1 + 5/1 + 5/1 + 5/1: This expression does not represent the total number of hours. It adds the hours per day (5/1) five times, which is not correct.
The correct expression is B. 5 × 5/6, which represents the total number of hours, 25/6 or 4 1/6 hours.
