Thank you for visiting my blog. I am going to show you another Math problem and proving my thinking with solution. Here is my presentation.
Richard's Mum needs to order ti pani flowers (frangipani) to make ei katu (flower headband)
for his sister’s wedding. There are 16 people in the bridal party and each ei katu needs 28 ti
pani flowers. How many flowers will Richard’s mum need to order?
I think the answer is 448 flowers because I use multiplication. 16 x 28 = 448
I also know the answer is 448 because I know my addition.
28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 28 = 448
I can show that there are 448 flowers by using addition and multiplication.
Ei katu ei katu ei katu
28 ei katu 28 ei katu 28
28 28
Ei katu ei katu ei katu
28 ei katu 28 ei katu 28
28 28
Ei katu ei katu ei katu
28 ei katu 28 ei katu 28
28 28
Ei katu
28
28 x 4 = 112 28 x 3 = 84 28 x 3 = 84 28 x 3 = 84 28 x 3 = 84
112 + 84 + 84 +84 + 84 = 448
I hope you learnt something how I solved my Math problem. Please leave a comment if you have other way to prove your answer. Have a great day!
Kia ora Liyahn. I would need a calculator to work that out!
ReplyDeleteI would find it easier to split the number because I find it easier to count in 20's and in 8's. So I would do 16x20 and then 16x8 and add them together.
16x20=320 add 16x8=128. Then add them together which is 448. Does that make sense to you?
That is a lot of flowers but they would have looked beautiful :) You are doing great work.
