Arturo built 3 sandcastles with 6 towers each. Paco built 5 sandcastles with 4 towers each. Who built more towers? How many more?



Answer :

To get the answer we have to find number of towers.
If Arturo built 3 sandcastles with 6 towers each we can say that Arturo built
3*6=18 towers
If Paco built 5 sandcastles with 4 towers each we can say that Paco built
5*4=20 towers
20-18=2 - difference between Paco and Arturo
Answer:Arturo made more towers. The difference is 2.
