There are 50 coins in each jar. How many coins are there in
total? Hint: Count in 50s.
In this question, we’re told that
we have to count in 50s to find the total number of coins. This is because there are 50 coins
in each jar. Let’s count how many jars there
are. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine. If there are nine jars, each
containing 50 coins, then we could count in 50s nine times. Let’s use our number line to
help. 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350,
400, 450. We knew there were 50 coins in each
jar. And we counted the number of jars
and found that there were nine. We started at 50 and counted
forward in 50s. The total number of coins is
450.
