Final answer:
To find the total number of coins in two stacks where each stack has 14 coins, you multiply the number of coins in one stack by the number of stacks (14 coins × 2 stacks = 28 coins). There are 28 coins in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
Scott has put his coins into 2 stacks. Each stack has 14 coins. To determine the total number of coins, we simply multiply the number of coins in each stack by the number of stacks. This gives us:
- Number of coins per stack = 14
- Number of stacks = 2
- Total number of coins = Number of coins per stack × Number of stacks
- Total number of coins = 14 coins × 2 stacks
- Total number of coins = 28 coins
Therefore, there are a total of 28 coins in the two stacks combined.
