5 yellow, and 2 white balls in each bag.

in all? Show how you found the answer.​

Answer 1

6+5+2=13. There are 13 tennis balls in each bag. There are 3 bags. 13x3=39. Martina has 39 tennis balls in all.

Answer 2

39 tennis balls

Explanation:

number of balls in each bag:

• 6 pink
• 5 yellow
• 2 white

thus, in total, one bag has: 6 + 5 +2 = 13 balls.

And we are told that she has 3 of these bags, so we must multiply the 3 bags by the 13 balls each bag has:

total tennis balls = 3*13

total tennis balls = 39
