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 find the total number of chicken tenders, you multiply the number of combo meals (4) by the number of chicken tenders in each meal (3). This can be represented as 4 * 3 = 12 chicken tenders.
To find the total number of fried Oreos, you multiply the number of combo meals (4) by the number of fried Oreos in each meal (2). This can be represented as 4 * 2 = 8 fried Oreos.
To set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can use the equation:
4(3 + 2) = 4 * 3 + 4 * 2
= 12 + 8
= 20
Therefore, you buy a total of 20 items, with 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together.

Using the Distributive Property, you can represent the total number of chicken tenders as 4 * 3 = 12 and the total number of fried Oreos as 4 * 2 = 8. Therefore, you buy a total of 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together.
To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos, you need to multiply the number of combo meals by the quantity of each item in one meal.
Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. So, for 4 combo meals, you will have:
Chicken tenders: 4 combo meals x 3 chicken tenders = 12 chicken tenders
Fried Oreos: 4 combo meals x 2 fried Oreos = 8 fried Oreos
To set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can use the following equation:
Total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos = (Number of combo meals) * (Number of chicken tenders + Number of fried Oreos in one meal)
Total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos = 4 * (3 + 2)
By applying the Distributive Property, you distribute the number of combo meals to both the number of chicken tenders and the number of fried Oreos in one meal.
Total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos = 4 * 5
Solving this equation, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos you buy all together is 20.
To find out how many 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 and then add them up.
Each combo meal contains 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos.
So, to find the total number of chicken tenders, you multiply 3 (chicken tenders per meal) by 4 (number of combo meals):
3 x 4 = 12 chicken tenders.
To find the total number of fried Oreos, you multiply 2 (fried Oreos per meal) by 4 (number of combo meals):
2 x 4 = 8 fried Oreos.
Therefore, you buy a total of 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together.
You can use the Distributive Property to solve this problem by breaking down the calculation into two separate distributive property equations:
- For chicken tenders: 3 x (4 x 1) = 3 x 4 = 12 chicken tenders.
Here, you distribute the 3 (chicken tenders per meal) to the 4 (number of combo meals) and then multiply.
- For fried Oreos: 2 x (4 x 1) = 2 x 4 = 8 fried Oreos.
Here, you distribute the 2 (fried Oreos per meal) to the 4 (number of combo meals) and then multiply.
By using the Distributive Property, you can solve this problem step by step to find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos.
