Table 1
#1a-
14 x 6 = 84
84 pumpkins sold
#2-
Saturday:7 x 6 =42
Friday:4 x 6 = 24
42 – 24 = 18 more pumpkins
#3-
$3 for 2 OR 2 for $5
Sunday: 3 x 6 = 18
18 x 3 = 54
9x5 = 45
#4-
The least would be 45
4 x 6 = 24
12 x 3 = 36
6 x 5 = 30
30 + 36 = 66
1 x 12=12
2 x 6=12
3 x 4=12
12 x 1=12
6 x 2=12
4 x 3=12
1 x 20

#1-
#2
#3
This week = 12
Last week = 3 x this week
Last week = 3 x 12
Last week = 36 pets
#4
1 and one half hours = 90 minutes (math)
56 minutes (science)
90 + 56 = 146 minutes total
