Question

a) 0 apples, 6 grapes
b) 1 apple, 0 grapes
c) 6 apples, 0 grapes
d) 1 apple, 6 grapes

Answer 1

Chad has 6 plates with 1 apple each, meaning he has a total of 6 apples. There are 0 grapes on each plate, and since 0 multiplied by any number is still 0, he has 0 grapes. The correct choice is (c) 6 apples, 0 grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering Chad has 6 plates, with 1 apple on each plate, we first count the total number of apples. Simply multiply the number of plates by the number of apples on each plate, which yields 6 apples (1 apple per plate times 6 plates).

Then, we assess the number of grapes. As there are 0 grapes on each plate and Chad has 6 plates, multiplying 0 grapes per plate by 6 plates still results in 0 grapes. Therefore, the answer is 6 apples and 0 grapes in total.

The correct answer to the student's question is: c) 6 apples, 0 grapes.
