Answer 1

Answer: 6

Explanation: I just took the quiz on K12 and got 100%

Answer 2

Both Miriam and Luz have a total of 36 items in their bags (4bags x 5toys +4bags x 4snacks = 20+16=36). Since Luz has 18 toys in three bags (3bags x 6toys) that leaves 18 healthy snacks (36-18=18) for Luz to place equally into 3 bags. So Luz has 6 health snacks in each bag (18/3=6).
