Question

A marching band was in a parade. the band members marched in 8 rows. there were 6 band members in each row. explain how the fact that 5 x 6=30 can help you find 8 x 6.

Answer 1

If 5 x 6 = 30 you can figure out 8 x 6 by adding 6 three times to 30!

30 + 6 = 36

36 + 6 = 42

42 + 6 = 48 <-- the answer is 48!
