Question

Erica planted 9 seeds each in 2 big pots. She planted another 59 seeds, one in each small pot. How many seeds did she plant in all? Write an equation and solve.

Answer 1

77 seeds

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of seed planted in each big pot = 9

Number of big pots = 2

Total number of seeds planted in bigbpot:

Number of big pots * number of seed per pot

= 2 * 9 = 18 seeds

Total Number of seeds planted in small pot = 59 seed

Number of seeds planted in small pot + Number of seeds planted in big pot

59 seeds + 18 seeds

= 77 seeds
