There were 3 friends. Each of them bought 6 packs of candy. Each pack had 18 pieces of candy. How much candy did they have in total? .

3 × 6 = 18

18 × 18 = 324

SO, they had 324 pieces of candy in total.

Hope I helped:P

you have 3 friends each get 53 sweets. how many sweets do you give out?

estimate: 53 rounded is 50 so 50 ×3= 150

real answer: 53×3=159

you know this makes sense as both answers are near or less similar.

hope I helped
