5Question

A museum display has 5 sections about the American Revolution. Each section includes 3 documents and 2 artifacts. If the museum adds 4 more documents to each section, how many total items are in the display now?

Answer Key

#	Answer
1	3 ships x 100 chests each = 300 chests total.
2	77 + 150 = 227 militiamen altogether.
3	48 - 36 = 12 more blankets in the first month.
4	6 groups x 4 students each = 24 students.
5	First find items in each section: 3 documents + 2 artifacts = 5 items. Then add 4 more documents: 5 + 4 = 9 items per section. Finally, 9 x 5 sections = 45 total items.
