Penny has made a pattern of shapes on her bedroom walls. She drew a rectangle, 2 circles, a rectangle, and then 2 more circles until she drew 24 circles. How many shapes did she draw in all?

She had 24 circles, and for every 2 circles there was one rectangle making it 12 rectangles. When you add them, it equals 36

36, divide 24 by 2 which gives you 12 and multiply that by 3
