Question

Andrew picked vegetables from his garden and put them into bags. He put 10 carrots into each of 3 bags, 8 tomatoes into each of 4 bags, and 6 turnips into each of 5 bags. How many vegetables did he pick in all?

Answer 1

To find the number of total vegetables you would use multiplication.

Each bag holds a different number of groups of vegetables.

Carrots, 3×10
Tomatoes, 8×4
Turnips, 6×5

30 + 32 + 30 = 92

Andew picked 92 vegetables.
