Question

There are 68 apples in the school kitchen. The school needs 130 apples for all the students in grade 2. The school gets two boxes of apples. Each box has three dozen apples inside. Does the school have enough apples for all the students in grade 2 ?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

The reason for this is because 1 dozen is 12. And the schools bought 6 dozens of apples. If you multiply 36 by 2 you get 72. Then if you add 72+68 you get 140 apples, but the school only needed 130 apples. So yes the school has enough apples for grade 2.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Yes.

Explanation:

Apples needed =130

apples in the kitchen =68

130-68= 62 to complete for all the students

1 (3 dozens x 12) = 36 apples x 2= 72

68 +72=140 apples available for all the students
