Question

Use the number line to help you solve the problem.

Kiley delivered 15 newspapers on Saturday.
On Sunday, she delivered 7 more newspapers than on Saturday.
How many newspapers did Kiley deliver in all on both days?

Answer 1

First, we know that Kiley delivered 15 newspapers on Saturday. We can represent this on the number line by marking a point at 15.

Then, on Sunday, she delivered 7 more newspapers than on Saturday. This means she delivered 15 + 7 = 22 newspapers on Sunday. We can represent this on the number line by marking a point at 22.

To find out how many newspapers Kiley delivered in all on both days, we add the number of newspapers she delivered on Saturday and on Sunday.

15 (Saturday) + 22 (Sunday) = 37

So, Kiley delivered a total of 37 newspapers on both days.
