Mr. R.’s World of Math

Chapter 11.1

     After only a few minutes had passed, the windows of the elevator were completely covered with the goop, and it was very dark in the room. Of course the students were very scared but it wasn’t the gooey-goo that was scary to the students. They liked the gooey-goo and they liked the dark also.
     What they didn’t like was the horrible faces that were being pushed up to the windows like the sides of the cube inside one of those magic eight-ball fortune telling toys.
The faces were being squeezed up against the glass, pushed up by the black goo and they looked horrible. They were surrounded by the goo and they looked pale and lifeless. The only parts that had color were the nostrils on the noses. The nostrils looked as bright as Fruity Loopers breakfast cereal floating in milk.
     “Hey, I had Fruity Loopers for breakfast,” yelled Serena.
     “You know you shouldn’t eat those,” said David, “They have way too much sugar.”
     “Why do you say that?” questioned Serena.
     “I did some research online and found out that one bowl of those things has 16 teaspoons of sugar in it!”
     “Wow, and I had 2 and 1/2 bowls of them this morning,” said Serena.

If one bowl of Fruity Loopers has 16 teaspoons of sugar, how many teaspoons of sugar did Serena have in 2 and 1/2 bowls of cereal?
