At the State Fair you buy 4 combo meals for you and your three friends. Each meal comes with 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. How many chicken tenders and fried Oreos do you buy all together? How could yo set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property? (3 points)

1 answer

To solve this problem, you can use the Distributive Property to find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos.

Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. Thus, for 4 combo meals, the total number of chicken tenders is 3 x 4 = 12, and the total number of fried Oreos is 2 x 4 = 8.

Using the Distributive Property, we can express the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos as:
Total chicken tenders and fried Oreos = (3 + 2) x 4
= 5 x 4
= 20.

Therefore, you would buy a total of 20 chicken tenders and fried Oreos all together.
