Question

Carrie is making 16 goodie bags for her party. She is putting 3 pencils and 2 erasers into each bag. What is the total number of objects she will put into the 16 bags?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.



A.
2 × 3 × 16 = □


B.
(2 × 16) + (3 × 16) = □


C.
16 × (2 × 3) = □


D.
16 × (2 + 3) = □

Answer 1

The correct answers would be both B. and D.

A, and C are incorrect because they say that you would be putting 6 items total into each bag when it multiplies 2 and 3 together when there are only 5 items being put into each, which is what B and D is showing which is why those are the correct answers.
