Help plleeaaassseee with my math problem!?
Alex hangs each pair of pants and each shirt on a seperate hanger. He has 51 hangers in his closet all holding clothes. Every time he buys 1 pair of pants he also buys 2 shirts. How many shirts does Alex own?
Favorite Answer
Pants Shirts Total
Hangers 1 2 3
Total Hangers 3
Every time Alex buys a pair of pants and his shirts, add it to the chart. By doing three columns and two rows you will be able to see what he buys and how many. At the end you will be able to see the amount of hangers used total, and how many used for each item. 51 divided by 3 equals 17 shopping trips, so you will have to do this 17 times, in the end you will have the exact amount of shirts you need.
