Question

Each small packet of candy has 15 candies. If I have 6 packets, how many candies do I have?

Answer 1

90 candies.

Explanation:

If each pack of candy has 15 candies in it, then having six would produce one of the following equations.

15+15+15+15+15+15

15*6

To break it down, adding 15 to 15 equals 30. Adding 15 to thirty equals 45. Adding 15 to 45 equals 60. Adding 15 to 60 equals 75. Adding 15 to 75 equals 90.

Answer 2

90 candies

Explanation:

Multiply the number of packet times the number of candies in each packet

6*15 = 90

There are 90 candies
