Question

A group of boys went on a camping trip. They spent the night in 5 tents and 4 cabins. There were 9 boys in each tent and 7 boys in each cabin. How many boys went on the trip?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In a tent, there are nine boys.

There were five tents.

5 tents containing 9 boys can equal 45 boys.

(5 x 9 = 45)

In a cabin, there are seven boys.

There were four cabins.

4 cabins containing 7 boys can equal 28 boys.

(4 x 7 = 28)

Now, to find all the boys, add the numbers together.

28 boys with 45 boys will equal 73 boys.

Please check my answer for no one, not even me is right.

Good luck :)
