Some real world problems take multiple steps to solve.
Let's try solving some together.
Jill sold 5 boxes and 4 bags of brownies. Each box had 12 bags in it. Each bag had 6 brownie slices. How many brownie slices did JIll sell in all?
It looks like we need to solve this in two steps.
👉 First, we must figure out the total number of bags sold.
👉 Then, we can figure out the total number of brownie slices.
We know that 1 box has 12 bags.
So we multiply 5 boxes by 12 bags.
5 × 12 = 60
There are 60 bags in 5 boxes. 👍
Now let's add the other 4 bags to these 60 bags.
60 + 4 = 64 bags
We know that there are 6 slices in each bag.
So we multiply 64 by 6.
64 × 6 = 384
There are 384 brownie slices in 5 boxes and 4 bags. ✅
