At the State Fair you buy 4 combo meals for you and your three friends. Each meal comes with 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. How many chicken tenders and fried Oreos do you buy all together? How could yo set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property? (3 points)
To solve this problem, you can use the Distributive Property to find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos.
Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. Thus, for 4 combo meals, the total number of chicken tenders is 3 x 4 = 12, and the total number of fried Oreos is 2 x 4 = 8.
Using the Distributive Property, we can express the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos as:
Total chicken tenders and fried Oreos = (3 + 2) x 4
= 5 x 4
= 20.
Therefore, you would buy a total of 20 chicken tenders and fried Oreos all together.
To find out how many chicken tenders and fried Oreos you buy in total, you can multiply the number of combo meals by the number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos in each meal.
1. Number of combo meals: 4
2. Number of chicken tenders in each meal: 3
3. Number of fried Oreos in each meal: 2
To set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can multiply the number of combo meals separately for chicken tenders and fried Oreos, and then add the results:
Chicken tenders: 4 * 3 = 12
Fried Oreos: 4 * 2 = 8
So, you buy a total of 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos at the State Fair.
Using the Distributive Property, you can express the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos as the sum of two terms:
(4 * 3) + (4 * 2)
Simplifying this expression using the Distributive Property, you get:
12 + 8
Which gives you the answer of:
20
So, you buy a total of 20 items, with 12 being chicken tenders and 8 being fried Oreos.
To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos you buy all together, you need to multiply the number of combo meals by the number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos in each meal.
Each combo meal has 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. So, if you buy 4 combo meals, you can calculate the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos by multiplying the number of combo meals by the number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos per combo meal.
Using the Distributive Property, you can break down the calculation as follows:
Total number of chicken tenders = (Number of combo meals) × (Number of chicken tenders per combo meal)
Total number of fried Oreos = (Number of combo meals) × (Number of fried Oreos per combo meal)
In this case, you have 4 combo meals, 3 chicken tenders per combo meal, and 2 fried Oreos per combo meal.
Total number of chicken tenders = 4 × 3
Total number of fried Oreos = 4 × 2
Using multiplication, you can solve the problem:
Total number of chicken tenders = 4 × 3 = 12
Total number of fried Oreos = 4 × 2 = 8
So, you would buy a total of 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together at the State Fair.
