Question

two students were walking to school one day when they saw two teachers each walking with two dogs. Each dog had two ears.How many dog ears where they in all

Answer 1

there were 8 dog ears in all.

Explanation:

Since the statement says that they saw two teachers each walking with two dogs, you have to multiply the number of teachers for the number of dogs each one had to find the total number of dogs they had:

2*2=4

Now, as the statement indicates that each dog had two ears you have to multiply the number of dogs for the number of ears each one has:

4*2=8

According to this, the answer is that there were 8 dog ears in all.
