My question is: Free Christmas decorations are being given out to families. Each box of decorations contains 4 pieces of tinsel, 1 Christmas tree and 5 snow globes. If 11 families receive a box of decorations and another box is given to the community center, how many decorations have been handed out? Your thoughts:
Each box contains 4 tinsel + 1 tree + 5 snow globes = 10 decorations. A total of 11 family boxes + 1 community center box = 12 boxes have been given out. So the total number of decorations given out is 10 decorations * 12 boxes = 120 decorations. The final answer: 120.
