Question

Jennifer painted 168 pots in 14 days. How many pots can she paint in 30 days?

Answer 1

168÷14=12
12×30=360 pots

Answer 2

The answer would be 360 because if you divide 168 by 14, you'll get the number of pots made each day. And so if 168 pots are made in 14 days, just multiply that by two to get 336 pots made in 28 days. Now, just multiply the number of pots made each day(12) by 2 since there are two remaining days left to get 24. Finally, you add 24 to 336 to get your solution: 360.

168*2
336 pots made in 28 days

12*2
24 pots made in the remaining 2 days left

336+24
360 pots are made in a total of 30 days
