Make a word problem... I think. Janie needs to knit 5 shirts. Maddy needs to make 12.5 shirts.They need to do this every day for 9.5 days. How many shirts in total (Maddy and Janie combined) do they make by the end of the 9.5 days?
Answer: 9.5 x (8 + 12.5) 9.5 x 20.5194.75 shirts in total
Did that help?
Lily needs to prepare a total of 20.5 meals for her event. By working for 9.5 hours, she prepares a total of 195.25 meals. This count illustrates the use of the expression 9.5 × ( 8 + 12.5 ) .
