To determine which problems can be solved using the multiplication \(34 \times 24\), we need to identify scenarios where we are multiplying two quantities together.
Let's analyze each response:
-
Aisha baked 24 muffins. She gave 34 of the muffins to her friends. How many muffins does she have left?
- This is a subtraction problem, not a multiplication problem. (Incorrect)
-
Aisha baked 24 muffins. She gave \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the muffins to her friends. How many muffins does she have left?
- This is also a subtraction problem since we need to find out how many muffins remain after giving away a fraction. (Incorrect)
-
There were 24 questions on a test. Three-fourths of the questions were science questions. How many questions were science questions?
- To find out how many questions were science questions, you would multiply: \( 24 \times \frac{3}{4} \). However, this does not involve multiplying 34 by 24, so it does not fit. (Incorrect)
-
Kiki had 24 marbles. She put 34 of the marbles in a jar. How many marbles did she put in the jar?
- This is a question about directly using a known number (34), not multiplication, and actually doesn't match \(34 \times 24\). (Incorrect)
-
Kiki had 24 marbles. She put \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the marbles in a jar. How many marbles did she put in the jar?
- This is asking for a multiplication of a fraction times the total: \( 24 \times \frac{3}{4} \). This also doesn't involve multiplying 34. (Incorrect)
-
Matthew has 24 inches of green ribbon and 34 inches of yellow ribbon. How much ribbon does he have in all?
- This is an addition problem (not multiplication) since we are simply adding the length of two pieces of ribbon: \( 34 + 24 \). (Incorrect)
In conclusion, none of the problems presented correctly apply or can be solved by the multiplication \(34 \times 24\). All of these scenarios either involve subtraction, addition, or multiplication with a fraction but do not specifically relate to multiplying 34 by 24.
