The number of desks in Mrs. Calvino's class are 24.
We have a classroom that has 6 rows of desks and each row has 4 desks.
We have to use skip counting to find how many desks there are.
What is Skip counting?
Skip counting can be defined as the method of counting forward by numbers other than 1. To skip count, we keep adding the same number each time to the previous number. For example - if we consider the first number be x and we skip count by 2, then the next numbers will be -
x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 ... and so on.
According to the question -
Number of rows = 6
Number of desks in each row = 4
Consider the first number as 4 and we will skip count by 4 till we get the next 5 numbers -
4, (4 + 4), (4 + 4 + 4), (4 + 4 + 4 + 4), (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4), (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4)
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Now, the sixth number of this sequence will give the number of desks which is equal to 24.
Hence, the number of desks in Mrs. Calvino's class are 24.
