The Turner family just bought 3 crates of eggs, and each crate had 18 eggs. The family already had 7 eggs in their refrigerator. How many eggs do they have now?

Question

I struggle with math, please help

Answer 1

-3 crates

-each crate has 18 eggs

-Family already has 7 eggs

7 eggs + (3 crates x 18 eggs in each crate) = 7 eggs + 54 eggs= 63 eggs

Family has 63 eggs.

Another Strategy:

1 crate : 18 eggs

2 crates: 36 eggs (18 + 18)

3 crates: 54 eggs (18 + 18 + 18)

7 eggs in refrigerator + 54 eggs in crates = 63 eggs in total
