    Home work

    16-4=12
    1\4 of 16 is 4 because 4×4=16
    16+16=32 32+12=44

    Jennifer has 44 muffins now.

  2. Christian says:

    16 divided by 4=4
    16-4=12
    16×2=32
    32+12=44

    Jennifer now has 44 muffins.

    First I divided 16 and 4. I got 4.Then I added 16 and 4. I got 20.Then I saw that she made 2 batches. So I added 16+16=32. Then I added 32+4=36. So Jennifer has 36 muffins. That’s how I got my answer.

  4. SARA says:

    She has 1\14 I got my answer by by thinking two cookies eaten , so then I subtract the 2 but the I havea 1\4. So you have 1\14.

    Online Math:
    16+16=32
    32+12=44
    She ate 4 of the muffins she baked.Cause 4/16=4.
    She made 3 batches of muffins.

    16×2 eqauls 22 and if she ate 1/4 then you would subtrack 1 and you would get 21. so Jeniffer has 21 now.

  7. Anthony B says:

    She has 44 muffins
    16/4=4
    16-4=12
    16×2=32
    32+12=44

  8. Zachary G says:

    The answer is 44 muffins. I got my answer by saying 4 goes into 16 4 times. 16 divided by 4=4. Then I added 2 more batches. 16-4=12+16=28+16=44 muffins. That is how I got my answer.

  9. olivia says:

    12+32 because 16+16=32 because she baked two batches of muffins. You add 12+32=44 muffins. That’s my product.

  11. Jackie A. says:

    Dear Ms.Spata,
    Jennifer has 44 muffins left. Scince 16 divided by 4, 4 is 1 4th of the muffin batch. I now know that Jennifer ate 4 muffins out of the 3 batches she made. In conclusion, 16+16=32 and 32+12=44, so Jennifer has 44 muffins left.

    your student,
    Jackie A.

  15. Aiman says:

    Jennifer will have 20 batches of muffins.I know that because I know 16×2=32.So i divided 32divided by 2 and got 16 so half of 16 is 8.So 32-8=20.That’s how I got my answer.

  16. taylor says:

    She ate 4 muffens than that leaves us with 4 muffens from the first batch. If you add 4 plus 16 you get 20 muffens. Than you add 16 more you get 36 muffens. She made 36 muffens in all. that is the answer.

  17. James says:

    4*4=16 16-4=12 16+16=32 32+12=42

    my answer is 42

  18. Anthony D says:

    Jenifer had backed 16 muffins. She ate 4 then backed 2 more batches. She had 16 muffins ate 4 and she made 2 more batches so she had 28 muffins total.

    / this means divided by

    16/4=4 16×2=32-4=28.
