My question is: TreQuan is throwing rocks in the river and he notices that the bigger the rock, the wider the splash. Pebbles make a splash that is a 1/4 meter wide. Rocks make a splash that is 1/2 a meter wide, and boulders create a splash that is 2 meters wide. If he tosses 6 pebbles, 3 rocks, and 2 boulders, what is the total width of the splashes he makes? Your thoughts:
The pebble's total splash width is 1.5 meters because 6 times 1 / 4 equals 1.5. The rock's total splash width is 1.5 meters because 3 times 1 / 2 equals 1.5. The boulder's total splash width is 4 because 2 times 2 equals four. The total splash width for all the rocks is 7 because 1.5 plus 1.5 plus 4 equals 7. The final answer: 7.
