Question

Piper saw a large box of ping pong balls with 48 balls in each layer

Answer 1

A.) 5 layers with 48 balls in each layer would equal 250 balls in the box
(5x48=250)
B.) 15 layers with 48 balls in each layer would equal 720
(15x48=720)

Answer 2

(a) 240 balls.

(b) 720 balls.

Explanation:

We have been given that Piper saw a large box of ping pong balls with 48 balls in each layer.

(a) To find the number of balls in 5 layers, we will multiply 5 by 48 as:

`\text{Number of balls in 5 layers}=5* 48`

`\text{Number of balls in 5 layers}=240`

Therefore, the box with 5 layers will have 240 balls.

(b) To find the number of balls in 15 layers, we will multiply 15 by 48 as:

`\text{Number of balls in 15 layers}=15* 48`

`\text{Number of balls in 15 layers}=720`

Therefore, the box with 15 layers will have 720 balls.
