Question: Each turtle lays a clutch of 20 eggs. If 40% of the eggs successfully hatch, how many hatchlings do 6 turtles produce? Is final answer 48?
Answer: First find the number of eggs that each turtle successfully hatches: 20 eggs * 40% = <<20*40*.01=8>>8 eggs
Then multiply the number of eggs per turtle by the number of turtles to find the total number of eggs: 8 eggs/turtle * 6 turtles = <<8*6=48>>48 turtles
