Question

2. On the snow day, 8 kids from the neighbor-
hood gathered to build snowmen. The kids
used two buttons as the eyes on each snowman.
7 more kids joined to make snowmen and used
buttons for the eyes, too. How many buttons
were used to make the snowmen?

Answer 1

Answer: 30 buttons

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were 8 kids, and 7 more joined, then there were 15 kids making snowmen (8+7 = 15).  Each child used 2 buttons for the eyes, so 30 buttons were used (15 x2 = 30).  This is assuming no other buttons were used on the snowmen for anything else
