There are four monsters. Each monster has two horns. How many horns are there? Two plus two plus two plus two
equals what. Each monster has five eyes. How many eyes are there? Five plus five plus five plus five
equals what. Each monster has 10 teeth. How many teeth are there?
And we can see an addition that has
four empty boxes. And we need to find the answer. So to begin within this problem,
we’re told that there are four monsters. And we should be pretty thankful
that we can’t see any pictures of these monsters because they sound pretty
scary. Each monster has two horns, five
eyes, and 10 teeth. And we need to use this information
to find the number of horns, the number of eyes, and the number of teeth.
So in the first part of the
question, we read that each monster has two horns. This means that there are one, two,
three, four groups of two horns. These are four equal groups because
we know that each monster has the same number of horns. That’s why we can see how to find
the answer here by adding the number two four times: two plus two plus two plus
two. We know that two plus another two
equals four. And if we add another two to four,
we get six. And finally, six plus another two
makes eight. There are eight horns
altogether.
Next, we’re told that each monster
has five eyes. So we know there are one, two,
three, four groups of five eyes. And, you know, because our four
groups are equal, we can again find the answer by adding the same number four
times. This time it’s five because there
are five eyes: five add five add another five add another five. Let’s get adding. To begin with, let’s add our first
two fives. Five add five equals 10. Now if we add our next group of
five, 10 plus five more is 15. And five more than 15 is 20. There are 20 eyes altogether.
In the final part of the question,
we’re told that each monster has 10 teeth. So we know what this means by now,
don’t we? It means there are four equal
groups of 10 that we need to count. And we can use this information to
complete our addition. To find the answer, we need to find
the total of 10 plus 10 plus another 10 plus one more 10. What we’re doing here is repeating
the same addition again and again, aren’t we? 10 plus another 10 equals two 10,
which is the same as 20. 20 plus one more 10 gives us a
number with three 10s in it; it’s 30. And 30 plus one more group of 10
makes four groups of 10, which is 40. There are 40 teeth altogether. Thankfully, they’re smiling.
We’ve added the same number four
times here to help us find each answer. We know that each monster has two
horns. And so to find the total number of
horns, we needed to add together two and two and another two and one more two. There are eight horns
altogether. Because each monster has five eyes,
we just needed to add together the number five four times. The total number of eyes is 20. And then finally, because we’re
told each monster has 10 teeth, this is the same as four equal groups of 10. We just added the number 10 four
times. The number of teeth there are
altogether is 40.
