Question

86 teams enter the race .if the race begins with 16 dogs on each team how many dogs will enter the race

Answer 1

1,376 dogs

Explanation:

1 team --> 16 dogs

86 teams --> 86 × 16 = 1376

Answer 2

1376 dogs

Explanation:

This is just a multiplication problem if we convert the words to mathematical formulas.

There are 86 teams:
`a_1,a_2,...a_8_5,a_8_6`. Each team has 16 dogs:
`a_1=16,a_2=16,...a_8_5=16,a_8_6=16`.

So, we can add up 16 to itself 86 times, which is just 16 * 86 = 1376

Thus, the answer is 1376 dogs.

Hope this helps!
