Ayana operates an orange juice stand. On Monday she used 1/2 of a bag of oranges. On Tuesday she used 1/5 as many oranges as on Monday. How many bags of oranges did Ayana use on Tuesday?

7/20
it is wrong
1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10
You tried to figure how many apples she used on both days. And you got that wrong. 1/2 + 1/5 = 7/10, not 7/20
In fact, she used 1/2 + 1/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
