Question

Vivian was assigned 12 math problems. Marco was assigned 3 times as many math problems as Vivian. Which equation could be used to find the total number of math problems Marco was assigned?

Answer 1

12·3= Marco's math problems

Explanation:

We know that Vivian was assigned 12.

We also know that Marco was assigned 3 times as many as Vivian, meaning we have to multiply:

12·3

=36

So, Marco was assigned 36 math problems.
