A display has 30 compartments. Each holds five counters. What is its total capacity?
Answers and explanations
- 4,295 counters; rounded, 4,300.
- 2,212 visits; rounded, 2,200.
- 250 additional cards: 500 desired − 250 already owned. The old answer key incorrectly selected 500 additional items.
- 960 ÷ 30 = 32 folders.
- 264 discs; rounded, 260.
- 30 × 5 = 150 counters. This replaces an unsuitable fish-stocking scenario.
