Lizzy: Carla's teacher tells her that she needs to collect 30 leaves and 20 bugs for a project that's due in 10 days. How many items does Carla need to collect each day if she always wants to collect the same daily amount?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
First find the total number of items Carla needs to find by adding the number of leaves to the number of bugs: 30 leaves + 20 bugs = 50 items. Now divide the total number of items by the number of days Carla has to do her assignment to find the daily collection amount: 50 items / 10 days = 5 items / day. Final answer: 5.
