In the first exercise, the answer of the template is incorrect:
See: Itamar delivered 45 dozen bottles in 15 deliveries. What was the total number of bottles delivered:
Calculation:
1 dozen = 12
45 dozen = x
x= 45×12
x= 540 Bottles and not 675 as it is in the template.
Please correct.
The first question, Itamar has a truck of bottles….. the answer is wrong, it does not calculate how much a truck holds, and then calculates the number of deliveries
45 x 12 = 540
540 x 15 = 8100
it delivered in 15 days 8100 bottles
Itamar delivered 15 deliveries with 45 dozen bottles of water to a water distributor. How many bottles of were delivered?
A-I've been looking at feedback on this issue and disagreed.
your reasoning was 15 x 45= 675
see my reasoning 15 x 45 = 675 x 12 = 8100. Why times 2? Because 45 dozen were delivered and not 45 bottles, so a dozen is 12, so I multiplied by 12.
I also disagree with the result. If a complete charge holds 45 dozen, I first need to know the amount of charge ( 45X12 ). Then multiply by 15 trips.
Thus: 45X12X15=8100
I have a daughter who knows all the facts, she knows how to add, reduce, multiply and divide, but she can't solve problems. It rarely gets it right. She is recovering in math and I am looking for proposed problems to pass on to her. Thanks for the suggestions!
