Final answer:

You can wash 12 loads of laundry if you work 3 shifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you work 3 shifts, you can wash a certain number of loads of laundry. To calculate this, you need to know how many loads of laundry you can wash in one shift. Let's say you can wash 4 loads of laundry in one shift. To find out how many loads you can wash in 3 shifts, you can multiply the number of loads washed in one shift by the number of shifts. So, 4 loads per shift multiplied by 3 shifts equals 12 loads of laundry.

Given that number of working shifts = 3

Let number of loads of laundry that you can wash in 1 shift = x

Then number of loads of laundry that you can wash in 3 shift = 3x


Numerical value of the number of loads of laundry that you can wash in 1 shift is not given so it's not possible to convert "3x" into integer.

But whatever be the value say 5 loads of laundry is washed in 1 shift then the answer is given by 3x= 3*5= 15
