Question
School officials estimated that 400 people attended an afternoon performance of a school play and around 600 people attended the evening performance. What is a reasonable estimate of the total attendance for those performances? Is this a combining or separating problem?Solve.
Solution
This is a combining problem because you are adding together the attendance of the afternoon performance and the evening performance to find the total attendance.
Step 1: Identify the numbers you need to add together. In this case, it's the estimated attendance of the afternoon performance (400 people) and the estimated attendance of the evening performance (600 people).
Step 2: Add these numbers together.
400 (afternoon attendance) + 600 (evening attendance) = 1000
So, a reasonable estimate for the total attendance for both performances is 1000 people.
