Question

Eating a broccoli gives 10 points, and eating a carrot gives 1 point. If Daisy eats 6 broccoli and 4 carrots, choose the abacus that represents the total points she gets.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Say: Let’s find out the total points Daisy gets and identify the abacus representing it.

Steps:
$\bullet$ Daisy gets 10 points for eating a broccoli and 1 point for eating a carrot.
$\bullet$ For 6 broccoli, she gets 6 Tens = 60 points.
$\bullet$ For 4 carrots, she gets 4 Ones = 4 points.
$\bullet$ The abacus in Option D has 6 beads over “T” representing 6 Tens and 4 beads over “O” representing 4 Ones.
$\bullet$ 6 Tens and 4 Ones = 60 + 4 = 64.
$\bullet$Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
