Question

twelve boys collected 16 aluminum cans each. fifteen girls collected 14 aluminum cans each. how many more cans did the girls collect than the boys

Answer 1

Answer:

First multiply 12 by 16 to find the total number of cans the boys collected.

12 * 16 = 192

Do the same thing with the girls.

15 * 14 = 210

Now, subtract the 2 amounts.

210 - 192 = 18

The girls collected 18 more cans than the boys.

Hope this helps!
