Here's a question for you to try solving. Click on the "comment" to submit your answer:The Yankees #1 starter is preparing for the start of the baseball season. He is throwing 45 fastball pitches each day, and he follows that with 30 curveball pitches. To finish his workout, he throws 10 knuckleball pitches.* The pitcher will be working out with this routine for 45 days. How many pitches all together will he have thrown using this routine by the time the season starts?
*(Is C. C. really working on the knuckler? Nah, just something to make the story problem more interesting.)

Well, it is good to see so many correct answers to my math problem. If you do feel like clicking on the "Comments" link below, now that many 4St students have posted (it is 3/26 now, a day after may original post) their comments, you will find a few opinions that have been offered along with accurate answers. Thanks to all who responded in complete sentences. I appreciate the many comments about the quality of my picture! We will take that under advisement. Also, even thought there aren't too many Yankee fans in this group of commenters, it is encouraging to know that many kids do feel interested in their own local team - I forget the name right now, but I know the name will come up again. It is interesting to note that some of the comments about the Yankees were very polite in disagreeing. Others? Well, not so much. In conclusion, it was a pleasure to read the comments from our awesome class, and I look forward to commenting on each of your own blogs (and answering a challenging multiplication story problem)!
Sincerely,
Mr. S.

Dear Mr. S:
I multiplied 85 total pitches by 45 days. So he pitched a total of 3,825 pitches.
Go SOX!

Sorry to tell you this, but that picture of yours was kind of, how do I say this; LAME and making it about a NY Yankees pitcher is the best way to make enemies here.

The answer to your multiplication problem is 3,825.
45+30+10=85 85x45=[3825]
80x40=3200 5x5=25 5x40=200 80x5=400
400+200=600 600+25=625 3200+625=[3825]

Dear Mr. S.,
The answer to your Multiplication Story Problem is 3,825. First, I added all the pitches that the Yankees player pitched, and then since he did it for 45 days, I multiplied the total number of the pitchers that the Yankees player did, (and he did 85) so, I multiplied 85 and 45 and got (dun, dun, duhhhh) 3,825!
