Question

4. Pandora is gathering flowers to decorate her

Answer 1

Answer:

148

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, Pandora has:

- 2 baskets that can hold 38 roses each

- 3 baskets that can hold 24 roses each

Here we want to calculate the total amount of roses that Pandora must get in order to fill all the baskets.

The first 2 baskets can contain a number of roses equal to:

$n_1 = 2 \cdot 38 = 76$

While the other 3 baskets can contain a number of roses equal to:

$n_2=3\cdot 24 =72$

Therefore, the total number of roses that can be contained in the 5 baskets is:

$n=n_1+n_2=76+72=148$
