If Christian wants to know how many apples he can buy, divide the total amount he has in his wallet by the cost of each apple.
Since Christian has $6 in his wallet and the apple costs $1.25 per apple, divide $6 by $1.25 to get how many apple Christian can buy.
This can be written as;
total amount of money / cost of each apple = the total apples that can be bought.
Substitute the given values; total amount of money = $6 and cost of each apple =$1.25.
> $6/ $1.25 = ?
> 4.8
Christian can buy 4.8 apples or 4 4/5 apples using $6.
