Answer 2

990 cookies in one crate and 2880 cookies in all three crates combined.

Explanation:

In each of the three crates are 24 boxes. First, let's find the number of boxes by multiplying:

3 crates x 24 boxes

3 x 24

72

So we have 72 boxes of cookies. Now we must complete the final step in order to calculate the number of cookies. We will do so by once again multiplying.

72 boxes x 40 cookies

72 x 40

2880

In total, that is, including all the cookies from all the boxes in all three crates, we have 2880 cookies.

The questions seems to ask how many cookies are in one crate, however. In order to find that, we must simply divide the number of cookies, 2880, by the number of crates, 3.

2880 cookies ÷ 3 crates

2880 ÷ 3

960

Therefore, there are 990 cookies in one crate and 2880 cookies in all three crates combined.
