Jaynie wants to make leis for the graduation party. It will take 2 and half dozen plumeria flowers to make 1 lei. If she wants to make 4 leis, how many plumeria flowers must she pick from the trees in her yard?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
To make 1 lei, Jaynie will need 2.5 x 12 = 30 plumeria flowers. To make 4 leis, she will need to pick 30 x 4 = 120 plumeria flowers from the trees.
Thus, the answer is 120.
