Question

CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE TASK Date: Name: A delivery truck driver makes 64 deliveries each week. For each delivery, he delivers 74 cases of dry goods and 54 cases of canned goods. How many cases does the truck driver deliver weekly?

​

Answer 1

8192 cases/week

Explanation:

We know that one driver makes 64 deliveries per week. We can write that as 64 deliveries/week.

We can write "For each delivery, he delivers 74 cases of dry goods and 54 cases of canned goods" as 74 cases dry food/delivery and 54 cases canned good/delivery. This is a total of 128 cases food/delivery.

To answer how many cases in total for 1 week, we can multiply as follows, taking care that the units will cancel in a way that leaves just cases/week as the answer.

(64 deliveries/week)(128 cases food/delivery) = 8192 cases/week
