Question

Kelli calls her grandmother every month. Every other month, Kelli also calls her cousin. If Kelli calls her cousin in January,how many calls will Kelli have made to her grandmother and her cousin by the end of August

Answer 1

Since August is the 8th month of the year, this means Kelli has called her grandmother 8 times so far since she calls her once a month

Since she calls her cousin every other month, Kelli has called her cousin 4 times so far because if she calls from January to August every other month, you would do 8÷2 because every other month = 2 months.

This means Kelli has called her grandmother 8 times

Therefore, 8+4=12.

Kelli so far has made 12 calls in total.
