colin invited 31 people to the picnic. he can fit 10 people at his picnic table and the rest will sit on blankets. each blanket can hold 3 people.
how many blankets does colin need so that everyone has somewhere to sit?
a.
draw a diagram. 10 people at one table, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket, 3 people on a blanket. count the number of blankets needed.
b.
work backward. start with 31 people. subtract 10. then subtract 3 to figure out how many blankets will be needed.
c.
translate into an equation.
(31 – 10) ÷ 3 = b
d.
use logical reasoning. start with 31 people, subtract 10 people who will sit at the picnic table, that leaves 21 people. keep subtracting 3 people until you get to 0. count how many times you subtracted 3 people.
