a cat rescue team looks after 23 cats. Each cat eats a 42p tin of food everyday. How muh does it cost to keep the cats fed for a week?

Question

I want to know the answer

Answer 1

Each cat eats 42p times 7 worth of canned food per week; this is 294 p worth.

Since there are 23 cats, this weekly total cost must be multiplied by23; the answer is 6762 p total cost.

 

It's just using multiplication because of MULTIPLE days in a week and because of MULTIPLE cats.
