Question

Kai ordered 1,012 baseball cards. Sharon

ordered 5 times as many cards as Kai.
Write and solve an equation to find
the number of baseball cards Sharon
ordered.

Answer 1

x=1,012×5

x=5,060 cards

Answer 2

Explanation:

"Kai ordered 1,012 baseball cards"

We can write this statement as K = 1012

"Sharon ordered 5 times as many cards as Kai."

We can write this statement as S = 5K

So all we need to do is plug in K in our second equation to get:

S = 5K

S = 5*1012

Now all we do is multiply

S = 5*1012

S = 5060

So Sharon ordered 5,060 baseball cards
