Calculate the Total Number of Bulbs

Question:

Rosa has 7k packages of bulbs to plant in her garden. Each package contains one dozen bulbs. How many bulbs does Rosa have in total?

a. 7 dozen bulbs

b. 84 bulbs

c. 72 bulbs

d. 7000 bulbs

Final answer: Rosa has 7 packages of bulbs, each containing 12 bulbs (one dozen).

Answer:

Rosa has 84 bulbs in total.

Explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total number of bulbs that Rosa has based on the given information. Rosa has 7k packages of bulbs, and each package contains one dozen bulbs. Since one dozen is equivalent to 12 bulbs, to find the total number of bulbs, we need to multiply the number of packages by the number of bulbs in each package.

Here's the calculation:

Multiply the number of packages (7k) by the number of bulbs in a dozen (12).

7k × 12 = 7 × 12k

Since 7 × 12 equals 84, the answer is 84k bulbs. As this problem likely uses 'k' to simply mean 'packages' and not a variable or a thousand, the correct answer without overcomplicating the multiplication is 84 bulbs (Option b).
