To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos bought all together, we need to multiply the quantity of each item in one combo meal by the total number of combo meals.
Let's say the number of chicken tenders in one combo meal is represented by "t" and the number of fried Oreos in one combo meal is represented by "o".
So, each combo meal has 3 chicken tenders (3t) and 2 fried Oreos (2o).
Since you buy 4 combo meals, we need to multiply the quantities by 4:
4 * 3t = 12t
4 * 2o = 8o
Therefore, you buy a total of 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together.
We can solve this problem using the distributive property by distributing the multiplication across the addition:
4 * (3t + 2o)
= (4 * 3t) + (4 * 2o)
= 12t + 8o
So, using the distributive property, we find that you buy 12 chicken tenders and 8 fried Oreos all together.
At the state fair you buy 4 combo meals for you and your three friends. Each meal comes with three chicken tenders and two fried Oreos how many chicken tenders and fried Oreos do you buy all together? How could you set up and solve this problem using distributive property
