Answer 1

you would need to multiply 8×24 and 6×28 and then you add the answers together.

Answer 2

Packs of orange erasers = 8

Number of erasers in each pack = 24

So, total number of orange erasers =
`8*24=192`

Packs of blue eraser = 6

Number of erasers in each pack = 28

Total number of erasers =
`6*28=168`

So, total number of erasers are =
`192+168=360`

Hence, the teacher buys 360 erasers or his class.
