Felicity knows that it takes her 600 minutes to complete each of her 5 craft projects. She says that this means it will take her 300 minutes total for all 5 projects. Explain to Felicity the common mistake she made when she multiplied 600 x 5. Then tell her the correct answer.
The basic fact 6 x 5 equals 30, so it already has one zero. Felicity did not add an extra two zeroes. Since there was already a zero, she needs to add an additional two, so the answer would be 3,000 minutes, not 300.

She also bought some yogurt. Her total bill at Costco was $104. How much did the yogurt cost? Write an equation using a variable for the unknown. Then solve to find the cost of the yogurt.
