Ron has 20 apples. He used \(\frac{2}{5}\) of the apples to make pies.

How many apples did Ron use for pies? Explain.

The best way to do this one is by multiplication. If you have two dozens of eggs, you multiply two by a dozen to find out how many eggs you have: 2 *12=24. Similarly, if you have two fifths **of **20 apples, you multiply 2/5 by 20 to find out how many apples you have: (2/5)*****20 = 8.

20/5=4 (to find a fifth of 20 apples) 4x2=8 (to find what 2 fifths is) **
** He used 8 apples

Ron used 8 apples to make pies after using \frac{2}{5} of the total 20 apples he had. This was found by first calculating one-fifth of 20 apples and then doubling that amount. So, the calculation resulted in 8 apples used for the pies.
