1. 11 + 6 + 3 = 20
There will be 20 children at the party.

2. 12 x 3 – 5 = 31
They have 31 balloons to use for decoration.

3. 6 oz x 20 = 120 oz
They need 120 oz of juice.
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 128 ounces
128 > 120
Mrs. Carson only needs to buy 1 gallon of juice.
1 20 5 1
4. × 20 = = =2
8 8 2 2

5. 3 x 35 = 105
105 minutes = 1 hour and 45 minutes
It will take 1 hour and 45 minutes to cook all 3 pies.
She needs to start baking at 1:15 p.m. to finish all the pies by 3 p.m.
