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 you set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property? (3 points.
To solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can first find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos in one combo meal, and then multiply that by the number of combo meals purchased.
In one combo meal, you get 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos for all the combo meals, you can use the Distributive Property.
Let's say the number of combo meals purchased is represented by 'x'.
Total number of chicken tenders = 3 (number of chicken tenders per combo meal) * x (number of combo meals)
Total number of fried Oreos = 2 (number of fried Oreos per combo meal) * x (number of combo meals)
Using the Distributive Property, you can multiply the numbers inside the parentheses with the value outside the parentheses.
Total number of chicken tenders = 3x
Total number of fried Oreos = 2x
Therefore, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos bought all together is 3x + 2x, which can be simplified as 5x.
make it shorter
Sure! To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos purchased at the State Fair, you can use the Distributive Property.
Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos.
So, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos can be found by multiplying these quantities by the number of combo meals purchased.
Total = (3 + 2) * Number of combo meals
Simplifying this expression, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos bought all together is 5 times the number of combo meals.
Part 1: At the State Fair it costs $2.75 for a corndog and $3.50 for a funnel cake. How much would it cost for you to order "c" corndogs and "f" funnel cakes? Show how to set this up as an algebraic expression.
Part 2: You and your three friends want to order 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each. Solve to find out how much it would cost all-together.
Part 3: Explain how you solved Part 2.
(6 points)
Part 1:
To find the cost of ordering "c" corndogs and "f" funnel cakes, you can set up the following algebraic expression:
Cost = ($2.75 * c) + ($3.50 * f)
Part 2:
To find the cost of ordering 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each for you and your three friends, you can substitute "c = 2" (corndogs) and "f = 1" (funnel cake) into the expression from part 1:
Cost = ($2.75 * 2) + ($3.50 * 1)
Cost = $5.50 + $3.50
Cost = $9.00
Therefore, it would cost $9.00 all together to order 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each for you and your three friends.
Part 3:
To solve part 2, I substituted the values of "c = 2" and "f = 1" into the algebraic expression from part 1 and then simplified the expression by performing the multiplication and addition. This allowed me to find the total cost, which was $9.00.
To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos you buy all together, we need to calculate the quantity of each item individually and then add them up.
Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders, so for 4 combo meals you would have 3 x 4 = 12 chicken tenders.
Each combo meal also includes 2 fried Oreos, so for 4 combo meals you would have 2 x 4 = 8 fried Oreos.
Therefore, all together you buy 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos.
To set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can break down the calculation as follows:
Total number of chicken tenders = 3 x (number of combo meals)
Total number of fried Oreos = 2 x (number of combo meals)
Substituting the number of combo meals as 4, we can write:
Total number of chicken tenders = 3 x 4 = 12
Total number of fried Oreos = 2 x 4 = 8
Adding these totals together, we get:
12 chicken tenders + 8 fried Oreos = 20 items in total.
To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos, we need to multiply the number of combo meals by the number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos in each meal and then add them together.
First, let's find the total number of chicken tenders. Since each meal comes with 3 chicken tenders, we can multiply 3 by the number of combo meals. So, 3 x 4 = 12 chicken tenders.
Next, let's find the total number of fried Oreos. Similarly, since each meal comes with 2 fried Oreos, we can multiply 2 by the number of combo meals. So, 2 x 4 = 8 fried Oreos.
To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos together, we can add the results of the two calculations we made. So, 12 chicken tenders + 8 fried Oreos = 20 items in total.
Now let's talk about how to solve this problem using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states that you can distribute a number to each term inside a group or bracket. In this case, we can distribute the number of combo meals to both the chicken tenders and the fried Oreos.
Using the Distributive Property, we can rewrite our problem as: 4 x (3 chicken tenders + 2 fried Oreos).
Now we can distribute the 4 to each term inside the parentheses: 4 x 3 chicken tenders + 4 x 2 fried Oreos.
Simplifying further, we have: 12 chicken tenders + 8 fried Oreos, which is the same result we obtained earlier.
Thus, whether you solve the problem directly or using the Distributive Property, you'll find that you need to buy a total of 20 items, including 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos.
