Question

A store donated 2 1/4 cases of crayons to a day care center. Each case holds 24 boxes of crayons; each box holds 8 crayons. How many crayons did the center receive? 3. Draw a picture or a chart that shows the information and the question A. 54 crayons B. 384 crayons C. 432 crayons D. 486 crayons

Answer 1

C. Because 8x24=192 and then you have to do 192x2.25 which gives you the answer 432!

Answer 2

The answer is C or 432. The steps towards the answer are 2.25 or 2 1/4 times 24 to find out how many boxes are being donated then multiply that by the number of crayons in each box. 2.25x24= 54 54x8=432
