Question

I need help with this practice.Read below. Angelina is doing an experiment. She has bought a snail that has laid *three* clusters (like the one in the picture) of eggs in her fish tank. How many baby snails will Angelina expect if the clusters are of equal egg amount? Use the photo provided to answer.

Answer 1

ANSWER

$90\text{ baby snails}$

EXPLANATION

Angela's snail has laid three clusters of eggs like the one in the picture.

The cluster in the picture contains 30 eggs. This implies that three clusters will contain three times that amount:

$\begin{gathered} 3\cdot30 \\ \Rightarrow90 \end{gathered}$

Hence, Angela should expect 90 baby snails.
