Question

Gina is putting candy into bags for her students.She has 83 students throughout the day and plans to put 0.35 pounds of candy into each bag. How much candy will she need altogether?

Answer 1

Total number of students = 83 students.

Number of pounds of candy into each bag = 0.35 pounds.

We need to find the number of pounds of candy in all 83 bags together.

In order to find the number of candy 83 bags, we need to multiply 0.35 by 83.

0.35 × 83 .

On multiplying 0.35 by 83, we get 29.05.

Therefore, the number of pounds of candy in all 83 bags together is 29.05 pounds.

Answer 2

Solution: We know that Gina plans to put 0.35 pounds of candy into each student's bag.

Number of students
`=83`

The amount of candy Gina needs altogether is:

`83 * 0.35=29.05` pounds.

Therefore, Gina needs 29.05 pounds of candy.
