Question

at a movie theater, the small bag of popcorn holds 8 cups of popcorn. the large bag holds 50% more than that. how much popcorn does the large bag hold? you rewrote 1.5 · 8 as 1 · 8 + 0.5 · 8. to solve, first multiply 1 · 8. 150% · 8 = ? 1.5 · 8 = ? 1 · 8 + 0.5 · 8 = ? \boxed{} + \underline{quadquad} = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \(1 \cdot 8\)

\(1 \cdot 8 = 8\)

Step2: Calculate \(0.5 \cdot 8\)

\(0.5 \cdot 8 = 4\)

Step3: Fill in the blanks

The first blank is \(8\) (from \(1 \cdot 8\)) and the second blank is \(4\) (from \(0.5 \cdot 8\)). Then we can find the total: \(8 + 4 = 12\) (though the question here is just to fill the blanks for the step - by - step).

Answer:

The first box is \(8\) and the blank is \(4\) (so \(8+4 =?\))
