Jane is sewing sequins onto her trapeze artist costume. She sews 6 rows of 8 blue sequins each, 5 rows of 12 purple sequins each, and 9 rows of 6 green sequins each. How many sequins does she add total?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
First find the total number of blue sequins: 6 rows * 8 sequins / row = 48 sequins. Then find the total number of purple sequins: 5 rows * 12 sequins / row = 60 sequins. Then find the total number of green sequins: 9 rows * 6 sequins / row = 54 sequins. Then add the number of each color of sequin to find the total number of sequins: 48 sequins + 60 sequins + 54 sequins = 162 sequins.
Thus, the answer is 162.
