It's true! You know that 1 hour is 60 minutes, and 1 minute is 60 seconds; how many seconds is 1 hour? The answer is 3,600! That's 60 × 60 or 60^2.(60 squared)
A car has 4 wheels, so 25 cars have 100 wheels. A spider has 8 legs, so 16 spiders have 128 legs. A quarter is 25 cents, so 100 quarters is 25 dollars!
Simple! Count, then multiply.
Number of cars:25
Number of wheels:100
Number of wheels per car:4
Number of spiders:16
Number of legs:128
Number of legs per spider:8
Number of quarters:100
Number of dollars:25
Number of dollars per quarter:0.25
(0.25 is not whole, but at least it's a number, right? 0.25 dollars = 25 cents. Hopefully, you understand!)
Olivia is a spider, so she has 8 feet.(You seen her at the top of this Web page.) Although she's not a human, she has 5 toes on each foot. Therefore, she has 40 toes in all! If there were 13 of her, there would be 520 toes in all! And there would also be 104 feet!
Number of Olivias:13
Number of feet:104 (which is 8 × 13)
Number of feet per Olivia:8
Number of toes per foot:5
Number of toes per Olivia:40 (which is 8 × 5)
Number of toes:520 (which is 40 × 13)
(By the way, 13 × 5 = 65, but that number isn't so important in this calculation.)
A fairy has 2 wings, 2 arms, and 2 legs, so that makes 6 limbs. Like humans, they have 5 toes on each foot.(And 5 fingers on each hand.)So if there were 5 of them, there would be 10 wings, 10 arms, and 10 legs, with a total of 30 limbs. Plus, there would be 50 toes(and 50 fingers) in all! This time, you get to count!
Hope you enjoyed viewing this page!
