Question

Olivia bakes 24 muffins. She will either put 2 on a plate or 6 on a plate. How many

more plates will Olivia need if she puts 2 muffins on each plate? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Olivia needs in all 12 plates because
2x12=24 muffins

So if there is 6 muffins each plate it will be 2 plates.

And 2 muffins each plate will be 12 plates

Answer 2

She will need 12 plates if she puts 2 muffins on each.

Explanation:

If you divide 24 and 2, you get how many plates you need. You can check your work by multiplying how many plates you have by how many muffins in each plate, and you should get 24.
