Explain how you could easily calculate how many premolars(8 teeth) 3;30;300; and 3,000 adults would have.
To calculate easily how many premolars each group of adults would have, we can use a common formula. In a full adult dentition, there are a total of 32 teeth. Out of these, there are usually 8 premolars, which include both the first premolars and the second premolars.
First, for 8 adults, we know that each adult would have a full set of premolars. So in this case, 8 adults would have 8 x 8 = 64 premolars in total.
Now let's calculate for 300 adults. We can use the same formula. 300 adults would have 300 x 8 = 2400 premolars in total.
For 3,000 adults, we apply the same formula. 3,000 adults would result in 3,000 x 8 = 24,000 premolars.
Lastly, for 3;30, or 3 adults and 30 adults combined, we add the number of premolars for each individual group.
For 3 adults: 3 x 8 = 24 premolars.
For 30 adults: 30 x 8 = 240 premolars.
By adding these two individual results, we get a total of 24 + 240 = 264 premolars for 3;30 adults.
