Question

jenny washed fishes 4 times as many times as her brother last mont. her brother washed dishes 8 times. jenny said she could multiply 3 times 8 to find how many more times she washed dishes than her brother. is jenny correct? explain.

Answer 1

Jenny is not correct because she said she'd done 4 times the amount of work her brother had. So by multiplying by 3 she would only get 3 times the work. She would have to multiply 8 by 4 if she wanted to get the correct answer.
