Question

look at this picture graph:
can recycling drive
adam
charlie
danny
keith
samantha
each = 2 cans
each = 1 can
how many cans total did the students recycle?
cans

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Adam's cans

Adam has 2 full cans. Each full can is 2 cans, so \(2\times2 = 4\) cans.

Step2: Calculate Charlie's cans

Charlie has 2 full cans and 1 half - can. The full cans contribute \(2\times2=4\) cans, and the half - can contributes 1 can. So total for Charlie is \(4 + 1=5\) cans.

Step3: Calculate Danny's cans

Danny has 7 full cans. Each full can is 2 cans, so \(7\times2 = 14\) cans.

Step4: Calculate Keith's cans

Keith has 6 full cans and 1 half - can. The full cans contribute \(6\times2 = 12\) cans, and the half - can contributes 1 can. So total for Keith is \(12+1 = 13\) cans.

Step5: Calculate Samantha's cans

Samantha has 7 full cans and 1 half - can. The full cans contribute \(7\times2=14\) cans, and the half - can contributes 1 can. So total for Samantha is \(14 + 1=15\) cans.

Step6: Calculate total cans

Now sum up the cans of all students: \(4+5 + 14+13+15\)
First, \(4 + 5=9\), then \(9+14 = 23\), then \(23+13 = 36\), then \(36+15=51\) cans.

Answer:

51
