Problem 1:
There are 44 children. Each gets 1 dozen pencils.
→ 1 dozen = 12
→ So, total pencils = 44 × 12
Let’s calculate:
44 × 10 = 440
44 × 2 = 88
440 + 88 =
528
✔ Final Answer for #1:
528

Problem 2:
Keith has 1 dozen quarters.
→ 1 dozen = 12 quarters
→ Each quarter = $0.25
→ Total money = 12 × 0.25
12 × 0.25 = 3.00

Problem 4:
There are 2 dozen calories in a candy bar → 2 × 12 = 24 calories per bar.
Jason ate 8 bars → but the question asks: How many calories in
21 candy bars?
→ 21 bars × 24 calories each
Let’s compute:
20 × 24 = 480
1 × 24 = 24
480 + 24 =
504
✔ Final Answer for #4:
504

Problem 5:
Joan has 3 dozen books → 3 × 12 = 36 books.
She read 1 → doesn’t matter for Alyssa.
Alyssa has 8 times more than Joan → 8 × 36
Calculate:
8 × 30 = 240
8 × 6 = 48
240 + 48 =

Problem 7:
Fred earns $25 per house.
He cleans six dozen houses → 6 × 12 = 72 houses
Total money = 72 × 25
Break it down:
70 × 25 = 1750
2 × 25 = 50
1750 + 50 =
1800
✔ Final Answer for #7:
$1800
