Question

As I was going to the store I saw seven dogs and one dog more. Each dog had fifteen bones to chew. How many bones came into view?

Answer 1

`120` bones

Explanation:

Start by finding the total number of dogs.

`7color(white)(i)"dogs"+1color(white)(i)"dog"`

`=8color(white)(i)"dogs"`

Since you know each dog had fifteen bones, multiply `8` by `15`.

`8color(white)(i)"dogs"xx(15color(white)(i)"bones")/"dog"`

The unit, "dog(s)," cancels out.

`=8color(white)(i)color(red)cancelcolor(black)("dogs")xx(15color(white)(i)"bones")/color(red)cancelcolor(black)("dog")`

`=8xx15color(white)(i)"bones"`

`=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)120color(white)(i)"bones"color(white)(a/a)|)))`
