Tom fed the dog 3 times as many times as her sister last week. His sister walked the dog 9 times. Max said he could multiply 4 times 9 to find out how many more times he walked the Dog than his sister. Is Tom correct?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The calculation that Tom is trying to do would be to calculate how many times he walked the dog if he had walked the dog 4 times as many times as his sister, who in this scenario walked the dog a total of 9 times. Since, in this scenario there is no mention of how many times Tom walked the dog then this calculation cannot be made and I would say that Tom is not correct.
