(Choice C)

The piano has 6 strings, because 37÷6=6 remainder 1.

Answer 1

Answer: The piano has 222 strings, because 37×6=222.

Explanation:

Since we are informed that Leslie tuned a guitar with 6 strings today and that she then tuned a piano with 37 times as many strings.

This simply means that we have to multiply 37 by 6 strings to get the value of the strings of the piano that she tuned. This will be:

= 6 × 37

= 222 strings.

Leslie tuned 222 strings.

Therefore, the piano has 222 strings, because 37×6=222.
