Question

Ms. Garcia bought 3 packs of red notepads,

5 packs of yellow notepads, and 8 packs of
green notepads. There were 3 notepads in each
package. How many notepads did Ms. Garcia
buy in all?

Answer 1

Answer: red = 9, yellow = 15 green = 24, total = 48 notepads were bought.

Explanation:

3 x 3 = 9, so 9 red. 3 x 5 = 15, so 15 yellow. 3 x 8 = 24, so 24 green. In total this is equal to 48 notepads. 9 + 15 + 24 = 48.

Answer 2

48. 3•3=9
3•5=15
3•8=24

9+15+24=48
