Alright so, we have 135 cups, 6 ounces per cup, and we want to know how many ounces there are in total.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Maybe the best way to solve this is by process of elimination. Do you think addition or subtraction could be the answer here?

hm

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Alright. Um... Let's look at the core of what addition and subtraction are. You're either putting in a set ammount of things to a whole or you're taking away a set amount of things to a whole

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

While multiplication and division are either adding a certain amount of things per somethings in the whole, or taking away certain amounts of things per the whole.

hmm..

185*2???

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

So for example, If you have 5 apples, and I give you 10 apples, then that's adding a set ammount (10) to your whole of 5 so that's 10 + 5

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Meanwhile, if I give, say, 10 apples per 1 apples you have, then that 5x10

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Does that make sense intuitively?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[185\times2\]
