Question

If each vitamin has 0.8 grams of calcium, how much calcium will 2.6 vitamins have?


A. 2.08 grams
B. 2.16 grams
C. 3.4 grams
D. 4.6 grams

Answer 1

2.6 divided by 0.8. You should get the answer

Answer 2

3.25?

Answer 3

that is what me and my calculator got

Answer 4

if 1 has 0.8
then 2 will have 0.8+0.8
and 0.6 will be 0.8*.06= 0.48
0.8+0.8+0.48

Answer 5

@phi it will still be 3.25

Answer 6

could it be 2.6 times 0.8 it will give you 2.08

Answer 7

if you don't understand the question, change the numbers to make it easier
If one vitamin has 1 gram of calcium
and you had 2 vitamins, how much calcium is that ?

do you divide ?

Answer 8

Bingo!! @jeanneryr

Answer 9

yes, you multiply

it's the same problem as
if 1 hand has 5 fingers, how many do 2 hands have ? 2*5= 10 fingers

except here we have 2.6 vitamins instead of 2 or 3
but it is the same idea, 2.6 * 0.8
