Final answer:
To find out how many sequins Abril used, multiply the number of sequin colors (12) by the number of sequins used per color (15), resulting in a total of 180 sequins.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question posed is asking us to perform a basic multiplication task to find out how many sequins Abril used in total. Since Abril used 12 different colors of sequin and she used 15 of each color, to find the total, we would multiply the number of colors by the number of sequins per color. This is a straightforward arithmetic problem.
To calculate the total sequins Abril used, you would use the following multiplication equation:
- Number of colors × Number of sequins per color = Total sequins
- 12 (colors) × 15 (sequins per color) = 180 (total sequins)
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is 180 sequins, which corresponds to option a.
