a class collected 2,650 l of materials to recycle. reginald said that $2,650div49\frac{1}{10}$ could represent the volume of each bag if the class filled $49\frac{1}{10}$ bags with material to recycle. peni said that $2,650div49\frac{1}{10}$ could represent the number of containers the class filled if each container holds $49\frac{1}{10}$ l of material. whose interpretation makes sense in this context? choose 1 answer: a reginalds only b penis only c both reginalds and penis

Answer

# Answer: B. Peni's only # Explanation: ## Step1: Recall division - quantity relationship The formula for the number of items is $\text{Total quantity}\div\text{Quantity per item}$. ## Step2: Analyze Reginald's statement If we know the total volume of recyclable materials is $2650$ L and the number of bags is $49\frac{1}{10}$, to find the volume per bag, we should do $2650\div49\frac{1}{10}$. But this is not what Reginald said. He has the wrong interpretation of what the division represents in terms of volume per bag. ## Step3: Analyze Peni's statement If the total volume of recyclable materials is $2650$ L and each container holds $49\frac{1}{10}$ L, then the number of containers filled is indeed $2650\div49\frac{1}{10}$. So Peni's interpretation makes sense.
