Keenan makes beautiful pottery and sells it at craft fairs. He made a frequency chart of the pieces of pottery he took to a fair last weekend.

Question

Pottery
Piece Frequency
bowl 24
cup 30
plate 24
vase 18
How many pieces of pottery did Keenan take altogether?
pieces of pottery

Answer 1

To find the total number of pieces of pottery Keenan took to the fair, we need to add the frequencies of each type of pottery together:

• Bowls: 24
• Cups: 30
• Plates: 24
• Vases: 18

Now, let's add them up:

\[ 24 + 30 + 24 + 18 \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. \( 24 + 30 = 54 \)
2. \( 54 + 24 = 78 \)
3. \( 78 + 18 = 96 \)

So, Keenan took a total of 96 pieces of pottery to the fair.
