Question

Marcos is in charge of counting cans for the food drive. He organizes the cans in 6-by-8 arrays, and he has 10 of these arrays. Does he have at least 500 cans?

Answer 1

The final answer is NO, i.e. He does not have at least 500 cans.

Explanation:

He organizes the cans in 6-by-8 arrays.

The number of elements in the array can be found by finding the multiplication of its Rows numbers with its Columns numbers.

Given the array is of order 6-by-8. So the elements in the array = 6x8 = 48 elements.

And he has 10 of these arrays. So total cans = 48 x 10 = 480 cans.

Hence, the final answer is NO, i.e. He does not have at least 500 cans.
