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?
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
\(320\ rubber\ bands\)
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.
