Question

For the winter clothing drive, Kimberly's class collected 5 pounds of clothing. Manuel's class collected 4 1/2
times as much clothing as Kimberly's class. How many pounds of clothing did Manuel's class collect?

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of clothing Manuel's class collected, we first need to multiply the amount collected by Kimberly's class.

5 pounds of clothing x 4 1/2 = 22 1/2 pounds of clothing

Manuel's class collected 22 1/2 pounds of clothing.
