Which problem could be solved with the expression 4*(4+2)

A - Danny ran 4 miles in the morning and 2 miles in the afternoon. He did this for 4 days. How many miles did he run?
B - Bobby sold 4 baseball cards on Monday. He then sold 2 more on Tuesday. He sold the same amount for 2 weeks. How many did he sell?
C - Suzanne makes wooden dolls. She made 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. She did this for 4 days. How many dolls did she make?


A Danny's Problem
B Bobby's Problem
C Suzanne's Problem

Answer 1

The answer is A.

He ran for six (6) miles every day. 4 in the morning and 2 at night = 6 per day.

He did this for four (4) days. The way to figure this would be to go 6 * 4. This equals 24 miles.

Go back a few steps (punny!).

So days multiplied by how many miles he ran a day which is calculated by miles in morning added to miles at night.

days*(miles per morning + miles per night)

days=4
miles per morning=4
miles per night = 2

4 * (4+2)

Calculating this out....

4 * (4+2)

(4+2 = 6)

4 * 6 = 24.

So A is the answer.
