Question

a restaurant used 175 forks one evening. it used 3 times that many spoons. how many pieces of cutlery did it use in all?

Answer 1

Number of forks = 175 forks

Number of spoons = 3 times the number of forks

= 175 x 3

= 525 spoons.

Total number of cutlery used = Number of spoon + Number of forks

= 175 + 525

= 700

Answer 2

233 pieces of cutlery used by the restaurant on that evening.
