Example Question #51 : How To Multiply
If there are bananas in a bunch and Joe buys bunches, how many bananas does he buy in total if one bunch is missing a banana?
If there are bananas in a bunch and Joe buys bunches, that means he buys bananas because the product of and is . However, because a banana is missing from one bunch, the number he buys will be one less, at .
Example Question #57 : Operations
Jane's cat is sick, so she must give it a pill three times a day. If she gives her cat its pills for a week, how many pills does she give it during this time?
If Jane's cat is sick and she must give it a pill times a day, then she will give it pills in a week. This is because there are days in a week, and the product of and is .
Example Question #222 : Numbers And Operations
Rebecca receives four letters. It takes her five minutes to read a letter and ten minutes to respond to a letter. How many minutes will it take her to read and respond to all four letters?
If it takes Rebecca minutes to read a letter and then minutes to respond to a letter, this means that it take her minutes to read and respond to a letter, because the sum of and is .
Therefore, in order for Rebecca to respond to 4 letters, the following equation reveals how many minutes she will need:
Thus, is the correct answer.

Which of the following is the best estimate of the expression below?
To estimate , the first step is round each number to the nearest tens place. This gives us:
Example Question #224 : Numbers And Operations
If Brenda rides her bike to work and then home every day, how many miles does she ride her bike in five days if her work is four miles away from her home?
If Brenda's work is miles away from her home, that means that she rides miles every day that she rides from her home to work ( miles), and then from work back to her home (another miles).
Therefore, the number of miles she rides in days is equal to .
Example Question #61 : How To Multiply
Mindy bought a box of granola bars for . She sold each bar for . If Mindy sold all bars, how much of a profit would she make in dollars?
If the box of granola bars was , this means that each granola bar cost because divided by is .
If Mindy then sold each granola bar for , the profit per bar would be minus the cost of the bar, which is equal to .
If she sold all granola bars, then she would have made a profit of , which is .
Example Question #62 : How To Multiply
Maria makes jewelry with beads. She can make a pair of earrings with beads, a bracelet with beads, and a necklace with beads. If Maria has beads, which of the following could she make?
bracelets
necklaces
bracelets and pairs of earrings
pairs of earrings
pairs of earrings
Given that each pair of earrings requires beads, the number of beads that pairs of earrings would require is equal to:
Since Maria has beads, she has a sufficient number of beads to make earrings. The other jewelry arrangements will result in there being a shortage of beads: Maria would need beads to make necklaces (), beads to make bracelets (), and beads to make bracelets and pairs of earrings ().
Example Question #63 : How To Multiply
The cost for two people to be part of a tennis club is a month. If Jon and Marie share the annual cost of the club membership, how much does each person have to pay per year?
If the cost of being part of a tennis club for two people is a month, that means the annual cost for two people will be .
If two people share this cost, that means that each person will have to pay because half of is .
Therefore, the correct answer is .
