Question

There are 5 pieces of chewed gum in each tube. So, if b = 5, how many pieces are there total?

Answer 1

There are 25 pieces of gum in total.

Explanation:

If with b you refer at the amount of tubes, then you have 5 pieces of chewed gum for each tube and 5 tubes in total. Thus, you have to multiply your total of 5 tubes for 5, the amount of pieces of chewed gum, and you obtain that there are 5*5 = 25 pieces of chewed gum in total.
