The Christmas tree, which
originated in Germany, became popular in 1846 when the Queen of England
and her family were shown around a decorated evergreen tree.
People decorate trees with colored and white lights, garland, and
ornaments.
Last weekend I decorated my Christmas tree with 2 boxes of red ornaments, 2 boxes of green ornaments, one box of gold ornaments and one box of silver ornaments. Each box contains 6 ornaments. How many ornaments did I put on my tree?

4th and 5th graders: One package of garland to put around my tree measures 8 feet. How many packages of garland do I need to use, if I estimate that I will need about 10 yards?
