Question

Milton takes $400 on a shopping trip. He plans to spend 1/5 of his money on DVDs. How much money will Milton spend on the dvd?

Answer 1

It's just 1/5 "times" 400
So just "cross multiply?"

1/5 x 400 =    80

He will spend $80 on DVDs

Answer 2

1/5 of $400

400 divided by 5 = 80

80 times 1 = 80
 
he spends $80 pounds on dvd
