Question

Answer 1

21 books in total

Explanation:

If there is 7 students who have 3 books each, and want to find the total. The easiest way is multiply 7 with 3 to give you an answer of 21

Or draw a picture if it helps

Draw 7 stick figure and under it draw 3 books for them and count the books, still gives you 21

I think this is what you want

Answer 2

21 Books in total

Explanation:

If you just want the total number of books, here:

If each student has 3 books, and there are 7 students, we can create the equation: 7 * 3 :because this is showing that 7 people each have 3 books

7 * 3 = 21 so There are 21 books in total

Another we could write it is 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 because there are 7 students with 3 books each. Adding this up would equal 21.
