80/5 equals 16. 16 x 3 equals 48. 75/5 equals 15. 15 times 2 equals 30. Billy ate more gummy bears. Am I right? I'm right!

[80 divide by 5=16] [16 16 16=48] So Billy ate 48 gummy bears. [75 divide by 5=15] [15 15=30] So Bob ate 30 gummy bears.

Billy ate 16 gummy bears because 80/5 = 16. Bob ate 15 gummy bears because 75/5 = 15. Billey ate 1 more gummy bear.

Billy ate more. I did 3/5 times 80/1 to equal 250/5. Then lastly, I divided it by 5 to equal 48. Then for Bob I did 2/5 times 75/1 to equal 150/5 to equal 30. Did I get the answer right?

Well 80/5=16 16x3= 48
and 75/5=15 and 15x2=30
