Question

Ms. Quinn runs the school cafeteria. In October, she had to order 15 cases of chocolate milk twice because the students at her school love it so much. Each case contains 'c' cartons of chocolate milk. How many cartons of chocolate milk did she order in total?

a) 15c
b) 30c
c) 45c
d) 60c

Answer 1

Ms. Quinn ordered a total of 30c cartons of chocolate milk in October, where 'c' is the number of cartons in one case.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem presented is a simple multiplication problem, where Ms. Quinn orders chocolate milk for the school cafeteria.

To determine the total number of cartons ordered, we have to multiply the number of cases by the number of cartons per case. Since Ms. Quinn orders 15 cases of chocolate milk twice, we calculate this as 15 cases x 2, which equals to 30 cases in total.

We then have to multiply these 30 cases by the variable 'c', which represents the number of cartons in one case. Therefore, the total number of cartons of chocolate milk Ms. Quinn ordered in October is 30c.
