Kerry is making shapes out of toothpicks. She uses 3 toothpicks to make one shape, 6 toothpicks to make two shapes, 9 toothpicks to name three shapes, and so on. How many toothpicks does Kerry need to make five shapes? -Please explain in full sentences and tell me your answer- Thx love! May god bless you!

Respuesta :

15 toothpicks. A triangle would need 3 toothpicks. So, if you multiply 3x5, it would =15!

She needs 15 toothpicks to make 5 shapes because she used 3 toothpicks to make 1 shape. 3 times 5 is 15, therefore she need 15 toothpicks.
