Example Question #2513 : Operations
Isaiah buys 5 snacks from the vending machine . If each snack is $1.75, how much money does Isaiah spend?
Since each snack costs $1.75, multiply $1.75 by 5 to find the total cost:
Example Question #2514 : Operations

To find the total number of cards that Jefra has, we need to multiply the number of piles by the number of cards in each pile.
Example Question #2515 : Operations
Akheelah can read 5 pages in 7 minutes. How many pages can she read in 21 minutes?
15 pages
21 pages
10 pages
25 pages
26 pages
15 pages
If she can read 5 pages in 7 minutes, then we must determine how many times 7 minutes occurs within a 21 minute span:
Therefore, three 7 minute time intervals occur.
For each 7 minute span, Akheelah reads 5 pages, so we need to multiply by 3 to find the number of pages she can read in 21 minutes:
Example Question #2516 : Operations
A room has 13 seats in each row. If there are 4 rows in total, how many seats are in the room?
52 seats
4 seats
17 seats
39 seats
13 seats
52 seats
In order to find the total number of seats, multiply the number of seats per row by the number of rows in the room:
Example Question #2517 : Operations
If each textbook weighs 3 pounds, what is the total weight of 11 textbooks?
43 pounds
13 pounds
33 pounds
31 pounds
30 pounds
33 pounds
Since each textbook has the same weight, simply multiply the number of textbooks, 11, by the weight of a single textbook, 3 pounds:
Example Question #2518 : Operations
Bobby is 3 years younger than Sam. If Sam is 13 years older than Mike, who is 4 years old, how old is Bobby?
1 year old
10 years old
7 years old
16 years old
14 years old
14 years old
Sam is 13 years older than Mike, who is 4.
Sam is 17 years old.
Bobby is 3 years younger than Sam. We just found Sam's age, so subtract 3 from that to find Bobby's age:
Bobby is 14 years old.
Example Question #2519 : Operations
Jeffrey ran 5 miles every day during the last week. How many miles did he run last week?
25 miles
35 miles
21 miles
40 miles
30 miles
35 miles
Given that Jeffrey ran 5 miles a day for the entire week, and that there are 7 days in a week, this problem is solved by multiplying 5 by 7.
This gives us 35, which is the correct answer.
