Question

Lexi just joined a group that makes hats for babies in the hospital. Two weeks ago they made 21 hats. Last week they made 29 hats. This week they made 12 hats. All these hats will be split evenly between 2 nearby hospitals. Lexi works out that's 62 hats for each hospital. Does that sound about right?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

All of the hats combined is 62,

21 + 29 + 12 = 62

But divided between the two hospitals,

62 ÷ 2 = 31

Each hospital would get 31 hats for the babies.

Lexi did not do her math right because she forgot to divide the total number of hats by two.

Hope this helps!
