Solving word problems.
In mathematics, word related problems can be solved by carefully expressing them by using mathematical process. They can be expressed as a fraction, percentage, algebra or polynomial as the question may be.
From the given information:
Olga bought 5 bags of popcorn for herself and her siblings when they went to watch movies. Now, it was also stated that each bag of the popcorn contains 17 ounces of popcorn.
So, to determine the total number of popcorn that Olga bought at the movie, we have:
Total ounces of popcorn = Number of bags × ounces per bag.
Total ounces of popcorn = 5 × 17
Total ounces of popcorn = 85 ounces
Therefore, Olga bought a total of 85 ounces of popcorn at the movie.
