Question

A display of pens has 8 hooks. Each hook can hold 3 packages of pens and there are 3 pens in each package. If the dispay is completely full, how many pens does it hold?

Answer 1

72 pens

Explanation:

If there are 8 hooks and each holds 3 packages then we multiply 8 by 3 to find the number of packages, which is 24 packages. If each package holds 3 pens then we multiply the number of packages by 3. There are 24 packages, so we multiply 25 by 3. 24 times 3 is equal to 72 pens.

Answer 2

24


Because all you have to do is 8 hooks times 3 packages per hook
