Ellie bought two packs of beads. Altogether she has 1,254 beads.
If the number of beads in each bag is the same, how many beads are in three packs?
How many packs of beads does Ellie have?
1,254
x 3
3,672
nope. Your answer indicates that each bag has 1254 beads. But that is not the case.
Two packs of beads contain 1254 beads, so each pack is half that many. So, your calculation should have been
(1254/2)*3 = 1881
The 2nd questions is actually a bit of a trick to see whether you are paying attention (which you apparently did not)
What do you think?
To find out how many beads are in three packs, we need to first determine the number of beads in one pack.
If Ellie bought two packs of beads and she has a total of 1,254 beads, we can divide the total number of beads by the number of packs she bought, which is 2.
1,254 beads / 2 packs = 627 beads in each pack.
Now, to calculate how many beads are in three packs, we need to multiply the number of beads in one pack by the number of packs.
627 beads/pack * 3 packs = 1,881 beads in three packs.
Therefore, there are 1,881 beads in three packs.
To determine how many packs Ellie has, we can use the information given, which states that she bought two packs of beads.
Therefore, Ellie has 2 packs of beads.
To find the number of beads in three packs, we need to first determine how many beads are in one pack.
Let's assume the number of beads in one pack is "x". Since Ellie bought two packs, we can say that the total number of beads she has is equal to 2 times "x". So, we have the equation:
2x = 1,254
To find the value of "x", we need to solve this equation by isolating "x" on one side. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 1,254 / 2
x = 627
So, there are 627 beads in one pack.
Now, to find the number of beads in three packs, we can multiply the number of beads in one pack (627) by the number of packs (3):
Number of beads in three packs = 627 * 3
Number of beads in three packs = 1,881
Therefore, there are 1,881 beads in three packs.
To find the number of packs of beads Ellie has, we can divide the total number of beads (1,254) by the number of beads in one pack (627):
Number of packs = 1,254 / 627
Number of packs = 2
Therefore, Ellie has 2 packs of beads.
