Each student will receive 1/10 of a bag of marbles, which is equivalent to (1/10) * (2/5) = 2/50 = 1/25 of a bag. Therefore, each student will receive 1/25 of a bag of marbles.

A car can travel 2/3 of a mile on 1/4 gallon of gas. How far can it travel on 1 gallon of gas?

To find out how far the car can travel on 1 gallon of gas, we can use the proportion method. If the car can travel 2/3 of a mile on 1/4 gallon of gas, it means that it can travel (2/3) ÷ (1/4) = 2/3 * 4/1 = 8/3 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Therefore, the car can travel 8/3 miles or 2 2/3 miles on 1 gallon of gas.

A painter uses 3/5 of a can of paint to cover one wall. How many walls can be painted with 2 cans of paint?

A toy store has 7/10 of a box of Legos. If they sell 1/5 of it, how many Legos are left?

If the toy store has 7/10 of a box of Legos, and they sell 1/5 of it, they would have 7/10 - 1/5 = 7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10 = 1/2 of the box of Legos left. So, half of the box of Legos are left after selling 1/5.

A bookstore sells 4/5 of a bookshelf in a sale. If there are 12 bookshelves in total, how many are left after the sale?

After selling 4/5 of a bookshelf, there would be 1/5 of the bookshelf left. Since there are 12 bookshelves in total, there would be 12 * 1/5 = 2.4 bookshelves left. However, since bookshelves cannot be divided, there would be 2 bookshelves left after the sale.
