Question: Jared likes to draw monsters. He drew a monster family portrait. The mom had 1 eye and the dad had 3. They had 3 kids, each with 4 eyes. How many eyes did the whole family have? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The mom and dad monsters had 1 + 3 = 4 eyes. The 3 kids had 4 eyes each, so 3 x 4 = 12 eyes. Altogether, the monster family had 4 parent eyes + 12 child eyes = 16 eyes. So the answer is 16.
