Question

Each box holds 6 black markers and 4 red markers. Derek has 0 boxes of markers. Write a number sentence that shows how many markers Derek has. Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

0 x 1 x 10 = 0

Explanation:

0 x 1 x 10 = 0

This is problem that has to do with multiplication with 0.

Since Derek has 0 boxes of markers and each box contains 10 markers, 6 black and 4 red, think of it as Derek having 0 groups of a box of markers. This means Derek has 0 boxes where each box contains 10markers.

0 boxes means Derek has no markers.
