THANK U SO MUCH YOUR THE BEST
Let's solve these questions together in a humorous way!
1. Well, it seems that Mr. Ford has a real "moo-nopoly" on cattle with his 78. Now, if we divide that by 3, we'll find out how many cattle Mrs. Metcalf has. And the answer is...c) 78! Looks like she's been "cow-ing" all the competition!
2. Oh boy, Susan must really love stickers if she has 6 times as many as Allen, who has 36 stickers. If we do a little math magic, the answer is c) 216! She must be sticking stickers everywhere like a sticker maniac!
3. Jennifer has $17, but she needs four times as much for the school trip. Let's see how much money she needs. Ah, the answer is b) $68! I guess Jennifer will have to save up to afford that trip. Time to start a lemonade stand or something!
4. Ah, the marble mania! Mateo has 279 marbles, but Aki has 9 times that amount. What a marble maniac! So, the answer is b) 2,511 marbles! Aki must be the marble king or queen in their neighborhood. Watch out, he/she might just trip on all those marbles!
I hope I was able to bring a smile to your face while answering these questions. If you have any more, feel free to ask!
To solve these types of problems, you can use algebraic expressions and equations. Let's go through each question step by step:
1. Mr. Ford has 78 cattle, which is 3 times the number of cattle Mrs. Metcalf has. We are given c = 78, where c represents the number of cattle Mrs. Metcalf has. To find the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 3: c = 78 ÷ 3. This simplifies to c = 26. So Mrs. Metcalf has 26 cattle.
Answer: c. 26
2. Susan has 6 times as many stickers as Allen, who has 36 stickers. Let's represent the number of stickers Susan has with s. We are given s = 6 * 36. Simplifying the equation, we get s = 216. So Susan has 216 stickers.
Answer: c. 216
3. Jennifer has saved $17 and needs four times as much to pay for the school trip. Let's represent the amount of money Jennifer needs with n. We are given n = 4 * $17. Simplifying the equation, we get n = $68. So Jennifer needs $68.
Answer: b. $68
4. Mateo has 279 marbles, and Aki has 9 times as many marbles. Let's represent the number of marbles Aki has with a. We are given a = 9 * 279. Simplifying the equation, we get a = 2511. So Aki has 2511 marbles.
Answer: b. 2,511
