Malik has 3 boxes of baseball cards. Each box has 2 containers with 8 cards in each container.

Malik multiplies 8 x 2 and gets 16.

He then multiplies 3 x 2 and gets 6.

Then he multiplies 16 x 6 and comes to his final answer of 96.

Do you agree with Malik? Why or why not?

Answer:

no

Explanation:

I think he did the first step correct, 8×2=16.

He did that because in each box there are 2 containers with 8 cards. so all together there are 16 cards in each box.

But then he should've multiplied 16×3=48 because there are three containers with the 16 cards.
