Question

Mrs. Wilson packed supply bags for her students to use in a science experiment. In each bag she put 3 rubber bands and 4 paper clips. If she used 48 rubber bands, how many paper clips did she use?

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

In each supply bag, Mrs. Wilson packed 3 rubber bands and 4 paper clips for her students.

Now, it is given that she had used 48 rubber bands.

Hence, there will be (48/3) =16 supply bags that had been used.

Now, in 16 supply bags, there will be (16×4) =64 paper clips.

Therefore, 64 paper clips that she had used. (Answer)
