Question

Janice uses toothpicks to make squares in a line, each side of the square uses one toothpick. If Janice wants to make a line of 25 squares, How many toothpicks will she use?

Answer 1

Remember to minus the number because it says that make square in a line

Answer 2

Make sure it’s accurate

Answer 3

To make one square, Janice will use 4 toothpicks (one for each side). Therefore, to make 25 squares, she will use 25 squares * 4 toothpicks = 100 toothpicks.
Janice will use 100 toothpicks to make a line of 25 squares.

Answer 4

You are correct. Since the squares are in a line, the toothpicks that are shared between adjacent squares will not be counted.
If Janice wants to make a line of 25 squares, only the toothpicks on the outer sides of each square will not be shared with another square. Therefore, for 25 squares, she will use 25 squares (which each have 4 toothpicks) - 25 (since 24 out of 25 squares share 2 toothpicks each with an adjacent square) = 25 toothpicks.

Janice will use 25 toothpicks to make a line of 25 squares.

Answer 5

Apologies for the oversight in the previous calculations. Let's correct it:

To make each square in a line, Janice will only be using two toothpicks for the two sides that are not shared with other squares.

Since she's making 25 squares in a line, she would use 25 squares * 2 toothpicks = 50 toothpicks.

Therefore, Janice will use 50 toothpicks to make a line of 25 squares. Thank you for the correction, and I appreciate your attention to accuracy.
