Question

Ms. LaTrace teaches her 27 students to make folded-paper princesses. Each student can make about 2 princesses in 1 minute. ABOUT how many princesses can all the students make in 55 minutes?

Answer 1

About 2970 princesses

Explanation:

This is calculated as:

For 1 student:

1 minute = 2 princesses

55 minutes = x princesses

x = 55 × 2 princesses

x = 110 princesses.

Hence: 1 student can make 110 princesses in 55 minutes.

The amount of princesses all the students make in 55 minutes is calculated as:

1 student = 110 princesses

27 students = x

x = 27 × 110 princesses

x = 2970 princesses

The amount of princesses all the students make in 55 minutes is about 2970 princesses.
