Question

kiersten has 23 red balloons. Catherine has 8 times more red balloons than Spirit. How many more red balloons does catherine have than kiersten?

Answer 1

161 is your answer.

Explanation:

Easy! If Kiersten has 23 balloons and Catherine has 8 times more than Kiersten, all we need to do is multiply. 23x8=184. Now to figure out how many more red balloons Catherine has compared to Kiersten we need to subtract Kiersten's amount from Catherine's amount. 184-23=161. So Catherine has 161 more red balloons than Kiersten.
