Question

Amy and Julie are going camping.

Each of them both has a bag of marshmallows. The bag of marshmallows has 30 marshmallows inside. The girls also bring crackers. If Amy and Julie make 15 s'mores, how many crackers and marshmallows did they use?

Answer 1

60 marshmallows and 30 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 15 x 4 = 60

60 divided by 15 = 4

2. 15 x 2 = 30

Answer 2

60 marshmallows and 30 crackers

Step-by-step explanation:

Each girl brought a bag of marshmallows containing 30 marshmallows inside. 2 x 30 = 60 marshmallows altogether.

Since there are 15 s'mores, we have to distribute the marshmallows equally.

60 ÷ 15 = 4 marshmallows in each. But if we multiply that again ( 15 x 4 ) we get 60 again. Thus, they used 60 marshmallows altogether.

The girls make 15 smores. A s'more has two crackers inside one.

2 x 15 = 30 crackers.

Hope this helped.
