Gulabo's garden has lily flowers. Each lily flower has 3 petals. How many petals are there in 12 flowers? Show how you found your answer.

Correct Answer

Given: 12 flowers, 3 petals per flower

Formula: Total petals = Number of flowers × Petals per flower

Calculation: Total petals = 12×312 \times 3 Break 12 into 10 + 2 Petals in 10 lilies = 10×310 \times 3 = 30 petals Petals in 2 lilies = 2×32 \times 3 = 6 petals Total = 30 + 6 = 36 petals

Answer: There are 36 petals in 12 flowers.

Explanation

The chapter demonstrates multiplication by breaking down the multiplier into easier parts. For 12 flowers with 3 petals each, we calculate 12×312 \times 3. Breaking 12 into 10 + 2: 10×310 \times 3 = 30 petals and 2×32 \times 3 = 6 petals. Total = 30 + 6 = 36 petals. This method of breaking the multiplier into multiples of 10 makes calculations easier.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Total petals = Number of flowers × Petals per flower

  2. Step 2: Total petals = 12×312 \times 3

  3. Step 3: Break 12 into 10 + 2

  4. Step 4: 10×310 \times 3 = 30 petals

  5. Step 5: 2×32 \times 3 = 6 petals

  6. Step 6: Total = 30 + 6 = 36 petals
