My question is: Lilibeth and her friends go strawberry picking. Lilibeth fills 6 baskets where each basket holds 50 strawberries. If three of Lilibeth's friends pick the same amount as her, how many strawberries do Lilibeth and her friends pick in all? Your thoughts:
Lilibeth picks 6 x 50 = 300 strawberries. There are 1 + 3 = 4 of them who are picking strawberries. Therefore, they pick a total of 300 x 4 = 1200 strawberries. The final answer: 1200.
