Question

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY!! The graph shows the number of eggs a farmer collected from each chicken pen one morning. How many more eggs were collected from pen 3 than from pen 2 & 5? (Each egg = 5 eggs)

Answer 1

Pen 2 = 5 eggs

Pen 3 = 25 eggs

Pen 5 = 10 eggs

It is asking how many MORE eggs does pen 3 have from BOTH pens 2 and 5. Add 2 and 5. But remember one egg = 5 eggs so as stated in the beginning pen 2 has 1 egg which equals 5 eggs and pen 5 has 2 eggs which equals 10.

5 + 10 is?

15, exactly. So how many more eggs does pen 3 have? 15 + one more egg is 20 and pen 3 has 25 which is more than 20 so let’s add another egg which again equals 5.

Now we have 25 eggs, the exact amount pen 3 has. The answer is 2 more eggs/10 more eggs.
