Question

A child bought 4 bags of rubber bands to make into bracelets. If there are 80 rubber bands per bag, how many total rubber bands did he buy?

Answer 1

we know that

there are $80$ rubber bands per bag

so

by proportion

Find the number of rubber bands in $4$ bags

$\frac{80}{1} \frac{rubber\ bands}{bag} =\frac{x}{4} \frac{rubber\ bands}{bags}\\ \\x=80*4\\ \\x=320\ rubber\ bands$

therefore

the answer is

$320\ rubber\ bands$

Answer 2

The number of total rubber bands he buys is 320.

Given that,

The child purchase 4 bags of rubber bands for making into the bracelets.

And, there are 80 rubber bands per bag

So, the number of total rubber bands he buys is

= 4 bags of rubber bands × 80 rubber bands per bag

= 320 rubber bands

Therefore we can conclude that the number of total rubber bands he buys is 320.
