Question

Andrew picked vegetables from his garden and put them into bags. He put 10 carrots into each of 3 bags, 8 tomatoes into each of 4 bags, and 6 turnips into each of 5 bags.

Which expression represents all the vegetables that Andrew picked and put into bags?

Answer 1

To find the total number of vegetables Andrew picked and put into bags, we need to add the number of carrots, tomatoes, and turnips.

The number of carrots is 10 per bag and he filled 3 bags, so he picked 10 x 3 = 30 carrots.

The number of tomatoes is 8 per bag and he filled 4 bags, so he picked 8 x 4 = 32 tomatoes.

The number of turnips is 6 per bag and he filled 5 bags, so he picked 6 x 5 = 30 turnips.

Therefore, the expression that represents all the vegetables Andrew picked and put into bags is:

30 + 32 + 30 = 92

Andrew picked a total of 92 vegetables and put them into bags.
