Braelynn has 24 knives in her kitchen and twice as many teaspoons as knives. If she bought 1/3 as many additional knives and 2/3 as many additional teaspoons, what would be the total number of cutlery pieces she has in her kitchen?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Braelynn bought 1 / 3 * 24 = 8 more knives to add to her kitchen. The total number of knives in her kitchen is now 24 + 8 = 32 knives. In her kitchen, Braelynn currently has 2 * 24 = 48 teaspoons. When she buys 2 / 3 times more teaspoons, the total number increases by 2 / 3 * 48 = 32. So she will have a total of 32 + 48 = 80 teaspoons. The total number of cutlery pieces Braelynn will have in her kitchen is 80 + 32 = 112.
Thus, the answer is 112.
