Answer: Ms. Valdez has 300 paperclips.

Explanation:

Since Valdez has 150 times as many paperclips, you will multiply the number by what the other person has, for example:
Teacher 1 has 20 times as many paperclips than Teacher 2 who has 5.

What you would do is multiply the number of the paperclips Teacher 2 has by how many times more Teacher 1 has, like in this example it would be 20x5 meaning Teacher 1 has 100 paperclips.

So you would take 150, multiply it by 2 which is the amount michelle has then after doing the calculation you would have the amount Valdez has
