Jim collected

Jim collected five bins of glass bottles to recycle. Lucia collected 3 1/5 times as many bins as Jim. How many bins of bottles did Lucia collect?

Correct answer:

L =  16

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} J=5 \\ k=3\frac{1}{5}=3+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3\cdot 5+1}{5}=\frac{15+1}{5}=\frac{16}{5}=3\frac{1}{5}=3.2 \\ L=k\cdot J=\frac{16}{5}\cdot 5=\frac{16\cdot 5}{5}=\frac{80}{5}=16 \end{gathered}$$
