Question

Jane has 11 times as much money as her brother. Jane's brother has $25 how much money does Jane have?

Answer 1

Hi Bella!

To answer this question we should look at the sentence for "clues". It says the words "11 times as much" which indicates that we need to multiply or "times" by something.

If Jane has 11 times as much as her brother then the equation would be 11 x Jane's brother's amount= Jane's amount. When we plug the numbers that is 11 x 25= Jane's amount. Then you multiply and find your answer. Do not forget to put the dollar sign in your answer!

Hope this helps!

Hello Bella,

In solving this problem we need to look at the words and numbers that are given as well as what were looking for. so lets looks at the

"Jane has 11 times as much money as her brother. Jane's brother has $25 how much money does Jane have?"

the word "times" is a word meant to indicate the mathematical operation of multiplication so therefor you can put either 11 or 25 first due to the communicative property of multiplication but I find going in the order the problem has it is helpful! That said that your problem looks like this!

11 x 25 = so Jane has $275.

Hi Bella,

All you need to do is multiply $25 x 11 and you will get the answer you are looking for. :)

When a questions asks a number times as much a another number you’re usually going to multiply.
