My question is: Jake delivers 234 newspapers a week. Miranda delivers twice as many newspapers a week. How many more newspapers does Miranda deliver than Jake in a month? Your thoughts:
Jake delivers 234 x 4 = 936 newspapers in a month. Miranda delivers 234 x 2 = 468 newspapers in a week. So she delivers 468 x 4 = 1872 newspapers in a month. Hence, Miranda delivers 1872 - 936 = 936 newspapers more than Jake in a month. The final answer: 936.
