Answer 1

360 erasers

Explanation:

We simply calculate the number of orange erasers and the number of blue erasers based on the amounts of packs the teacher buys.

Orange erasers:

The teacher bought 8 packs.

Each pack contains 24 erasers...

so 8 packs x 24 erasers/pack = 192 orange erasers.

Blue erasers:

The teacher bought 6 packs.

Each pack contains 28 erasers...

so 6 packs x 28 erasers/pack = 168 blue erasers.

Total of erasers: 192 + 168 = 360 erasers.

Answer 2

Answer: 360 erasers.

Explanation:

We know that the teacher buys 8 packs of orange erasers and 6 packs of blue erasers.

The number of erasers in each pack is:

24 orange erasers in a pack and 28 blue erasers in a pack.

Therefore, to calculate the total number of erasers the teacher buys for his classroom, you have to write the expression below:

`total=8(24)+6(28)=360`
