Question

Every package of jolly gobs has 40 gobs in each package. If one fifth of the gobs are red and the rest are blue, into how many parts was the group divided? How many parts are red?

Answer 1

One fifth of 40 is 8. The rest is 32. I assume by "group" you mean "gobs," which then means there were 5 parts. One part was red.
