Question

Miss Liz organized a summer camp for the children of Coraldale Elementary School.
The table given below shows the number of bananas distributed to the children.


On which days did she distribute equal number of bananas?

• A. Day 2 and day 3
• B. Day 1 and day 2
• C. On all 3 days
• D. Day 1 and day 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B Day 1 and day 2

Day 1:
Number of bananas distributed to 12 boys = $5\times 12$ = 60
Number of bananas distributed to 13 girls = $5\times 13$ = 65
Total number of bananas distributed = $5\times 12$ + $5\times 13$
= 5 × (12 + 13)
= $5\times 25$
= 125

Day 2:
Number of bananas distributed to 15 boys = $5\times 15$
Number of bananas distributed to 10 girls = $5\times 10$
Total number of bananas distributed = $5\times 15$ + $5\times 10$
5 × (15 + 10)
= 5 × 25
= 125

Day 3:
Number of bananas distributed to 25 boys = $5\times 25$
Number of bananas distributed to 5 girls = $5\times 5$
=5 × (25 + 5)
= 5 × 30
= 150

The bananas distributed on day 1 and day 2 were equal in number.
