Question

Ariana wash the dishes four times as many times as her brother did last month. Her brother wash dishes 8 times. Ariana said she could multiply 3 times 8 to find how many more times she wash dishes and her brother is this correct?

Answer 1

no since ariana washed the dishes 4 times as much as her brother did and her brother washed the dishes 8 times, then that means that you would multiply 8 by 4 not 3

Step-by-step explanation

8x4=32

Answer 2

Answer: Ariana's is incorrect in her cauculation

Explanation:

For every time that Ariana brother washed dishes, Ariana washed dishes 4 times. This tells that the the times they washed dishes occur in the ratio 4:1. If Ariana's brother washed dishes 8 times, Ariana has to have washed dishes 4x8=32 times. The way Ariana's is doing the calculation implies that his brother washed dishes 3*x=24 times. He calculation yields a wrong result.
