Cecilia works at a veterinarian clinic. They use a balance to measure the mass of animals. She places a small puppy on one side and 38 weights that each have a mass of 35 grams on the other side. However, to balance the two sides, she had to take away 4 of the weights. What is the mass of the puppy?
A. 1,330 grams
B. 1,190 grams
C. 73 grams
D. 69 grams

Answer 11

Lets start it the same way

Thirty-eight 35 gram weights is how much in total?

Answer 12

1330 grams

Answer 13

@FortyTheRapper

Answer 14

So then it says she takes away 4 of those 35 grams weights

What's four 35 grams weights?

Answer 15

@FortyTheRapper 140 grams

Answer 16

So if she put on 1330 grams then took away 140 grams, how would we solve this

Answer 17

Subtract. 1330 - 140 = 1190

Answer 18

B it must be then

Any ideas on the first step? (Hint: It's like the first step on the last 2 problems)

Answer 21

I'm not very good at math (I'm terrible -_-) at all. Some might say I';m incredibly stupid.
So, no I don't
Don't judge me.

Answer 22

Eh, you're not. Everyone (including Qualified helpers) had to learn these things at one point in their time.

So, she had 18 packages and each package had 75. It's like saying (18 x 75)

Answer 23

Sorry, I lost connection.

Answer 24

18 x 75 =1350

Answer 27

Billy has been to three more than four times as many baseball games as Brendan. Brendan has been to 11 baseball games. Complete the equation below to find out how many baseball games Billy has been to.
11 × ? + ? = ?

Answer 28

This is actually very simple to do.
The 11 in the equation means the number of games Brendan has been to. Since Billy has been to 3 more than 4 times as many games as Brendan, the "four times" would mean that we multiply the number of games Brendan has been to, 11, by 4. Now our equation should look like this:
\[11\times4+?=?\]
Now we also know that Billy has been to 3 more than 4 times 11. That "more" means we have to add 3. The equation should now be:
\[11\times4+3=?\]
The last question mark can be found by just solving the first half of the equation.
