Question

12) A biscuit factory bakes 172 trays of biscuits in the 1st shift and 265 trays of biscuits in the 2nd shift on a particular day. If each tray can hold 140 biscuits, in all how many biscuits were baked that day?

Answer 1

Stated -

• Each(1) tray can hold 140 biscuits.
• In 1st shift, total trays are 172
• In 2nd shift, total trays are 265

Asked -

• How many biscuits were baked in each shift on a particular day.

Solution -

⠀⠀It simply simplifies that the criteria of multiplication should be use in the question in order to find the total amount of biscuits where the equation(a) is trays and the equation(b) is total number if biscuit in each tray - 140! Always remember that, In math, to multiply means to add equal groups. When we multiply, the number of things in the group increases. The two factors and the product are parts of a multiplication problem. Let's figure our answer!

⠀⠀We do know that; 1 trays hold 140 biscuits.

In first shift, the total amount if biscuits baked? Total amounts of trats here are 172

$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\twoheadrightarrow\sf{172\times 140 = 24080 }$

In second shift, the total amount of biscuits baked? Total amount of trays given are 265

$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\twoheadrightarrow\sf{265 \times 140 = 37100}$

Simple conclusions for now is - In first shift, they baked 24080 biscuits and in shift two they do baked 37100 biscuits.

⠀⠀Head to the main answer part of the question:

Total number of biscuits that baked -

$\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\twoheadrightarrow\sf{ 24080 + 37100 = 61180\: biscuits }$

Final Answer -

⠀⠀ ★ 61180 biscuits were baked that day
