Question

Bearisters decide to carry 1 suitcase which has 3 slots. Each slot can hold up to 14 clothes. This means they can carry number of clothes.

• A. 42
• B. 44
• C. 36

Answer 1

The correct option is A 42

In order to find out the maximum number of clothes the suitcase can hold, let's use the area model.
For that, we'll have to split 14 first.

$14=10+4$

Now, we have to multiply 10 with 3, and 4 with 3.

$10\times 3=30$
$4\times 3=12$

To find the final answer, we have to add these two numbers.

$30+12=42$

Therefore, the maximum number of clothes the suitcase can hold is 42.
