Maria saw 2×10 to the 1 power dogs in the park on saturday. She saw twice as many dogs on sunday as she saw on saturday. How many dogs did she see over the two days?

Answer 1

She saw 100 dogs on all those days

Answer 2

She saw 60 dogs over the two days.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Maria saw
`2* 10^1` dogs in the park on Saturday.

`2* 10^1` can be written as 2×10 = 20

That means she saw 20 dogs on Saturday.

She saw twice as many dogs on Sunday as she saw on Saturday.

She saw 20 dogs on Saturday the twice of this is:

Sunday = 20×2 = 40 dogs

Total number of dogs she saw on Saturday and Sunday = 40 + 20 = 60

Hence, she saw 60 dogs over the two days.
