Question

Beth is making gingerbread men. She uses 2 raisins for eyes and 3 raisins for buttons for each gingerbread man. She buys 4 boxes of raisins, each with 120 raisins in it. How many dozens of gingerbread men can she make?

Answer 1

Answer: 96

Step-by-step explanation: This is how to solve:

120 * 4

= 480

3 + 2 = 5

480 / 5

= 96

First, you need to multiply the boxes bought by the total amount inside the box. (120 * 4)

The, we need to find how many raisins she uses IN TOTAL for each gingerbread man. So, we need to add 3 + 2

This equals 5

So, 120 * 4 = 480

So, in total, she buys 480 raisins. So, to find how much gingerbread she can make, we need to divide 480 by 5. This would get you 96. I hope this helps ;)
