To find the number of quarts that Katie picked, we first need to understand that she picked 7 times as many strawberries as Garrett. Since Garrett picked 6 quarts, we can multiply 6 by 7 to find how many quarts Katie picked.
To multiply 6 by 7, we can use the following multiplication facts:
1. The commutative property of multiplication: This property states that the order of the numbers being multiplied does not affect the result. In other words, 6 times 7 is the same as 7 times 6.
2. The distributive property of multiplication: This property allows us to break down a multiplication problem into smaller, more manageable parts. For example, we can break down 7 times 6 into (5 times 6) plus (2 times 6).
In this case, we can use the commutative property and the distributive property to find the solution.
Using the distributive property:
7 times 6 is equal to (5 times 6) plus (2 times 6).
(5 times 6) is equal to 30.
(2 times 6) is equal to 12.
Therefore, Katie picked 30 quarts from (5 times 6) and 12 quarts from (2 times 6).
So, Katie picked a total of 30 + 12 = 42 quarts of strawberries.
