Will medal and fan if helped. I dont understand because I keep getting 60 but 60 isn't a answer choice please help! Mike put 300 baseballs into 10 trash bins. He put the same number of baseballs in each bin. He took 5 trash bins of baseballs to the baseball field. How many baseballs did Mike take? 157 150 896 120

"Mike put 300 baseballs into 10 trash bins. He put the same number of baseballs in each bin. He took 5 trash bins of baseballs to the baseball field. How many baseballs did Mike take?" If he put the same number per trash bin. 300/10=30 He took 5 bins. 30 x 5=?

I thought I needed to divide

OpenStudy (davidmccune):

um because 150 is half of 300 right well he took 5 of 10 cans right well it asks how many he took and he put an equal amount in each one
