Question

Which steps could be used to solve this story problem? Krissy had 32 bagels. She gave an equal number of bagels to each child. There were 5 boys and 3 girls. How many bagels did the girls get altogether? A. Multiply 32 by 5. Multiply 32 by 3. Add the two products together. B. Add 5 and 3. Then multiply the sum by 32. C. Subtract 3 from 5. Then divide 32 by the difference. D. Add 5 and 3. Divide 32 by this sum. Then multiply the quotient by the number of girls.

Answer 1

D, because it said that Krissy had equally distributed the bagels to each child, so 32/8=4, and then it asked how many bagels did the girls get all together, so it's 4x3=12

Answer 2

Your answer is D. Add 5 and 3. Divide 32 by this sum. Then multiply the quotient by the number of girls.
