Question

1) Lisa has played in 6 soccer matches. Her brother Josh has played in 18 soccer matches. Lisa says Josh has played in 12 times as many matches as she has. Use the drop-down menus to explain why Lisa's statement is not correct.

Answer 1

Lisa = 6 soccer matches

Josh = 18 soccer matches

Lisa says Josh has played in 12 times as many matches as she has.

Wrong

Josh played 3 times as many matches as Lisa.

6 * 3 = 18

She confused multiplication with addition

6 + 12 = 18
