What three costs?

Why did you divide 75 by 12? Why did you divide 3 by 580?

Answered by Anon
OH whoops. I got 740 for the buses, Im now confused haha.
Answered by Ms. Sue
How did you get 740.

Please go back and study the problem I did for you.
Answered by Anon
For 740 don't you add the 580 three times? Since each bus cost 580?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. You can add 580 three times -- or you can multiply 580 times 3. Either way the answer is not 740.
