Ida and Ron make doughnuts for the Homestyle Bakery. The order for Tuesday is two trays of glazed doughnuts and one tray of cinnamon rolls. If each tray contains 3 dozen items, how many pastries do they need to prepare?
9 dozen or 108 pastries(Answer)
1 dozen=12
12 x 9 = 108
To find out how many pastries Ida and Ron need to prepare, we first need to calculate the total number of doughnuts and cinnamon rolls in the order.
Given that each tray contains 3 dozen items, and there are two trays of glazed doughnuts, we can calculate the number of glazed doughnuts as follows:
2 trays * (3 dozen/tray) = 6 dozen doughnuts
Similarly, there is one tray of cinnamon rolls, so the number of cinnamon rolls is:
1 tray * (3 dozen/tray) = 3 dozen cinnamon rolls
Since there are 12 items in each dozen, we can multiply the number of dozen pastries by 12 to get the total number of pastries:
6 dozen doughnuts * 12 = 72 glazed doughnuts
3 dozen cinnamon rolls * 12 = 36 cinnamon rolls
Therefore, Ida and Ron need to prepare a total of 72 glazed doughnuts and 36 cinnamon rolls, for a combined total of 108 pastries.
