There are 680 raisins in 8 bags. If each bag has the same number of raisins, how many raisins are in 12 bags?

Question

900 raisins
935 raisins
1,020 raisins
1,056 raisins

Answer 1

To find out how many raisins are in 12 bags, we first need to determine the number of raisins in one bag.

We know that:

\[ \text{Number of raisins in one bag} = \frac{\text{Total number of raisins}}{\text{Number of bags}} = \frac{680}{8} = 85 \]

Now that we know each bag contains 85 raisins, we can find the total number of raisins in 12 bags:

\[ \text{Total number of raisins in 12 bags} = \text{Number of raisins in one bag} \times \text{Number of bags} = 85 \times 12 \]

Calculating that:

\[ 85 \times 12 = 1020 \]

Thus, there are 1,020 raisins in 12 bags.
