Question

a store donated 2 1/4 cases of crayons to a daycare center. each case holds 24 boxes of crayons : each box holds 8 crayons. how many crayons did the center receive?

Answer 1

So the store donated 2 1/4 cases of crayons and each case golds 24 boxes of crayons, multiply 2 x 24 that is equals to 48 boxes or crayons. but remember they gave you 1/4 of a case so divide 24 by 4 that is equal to 6. So now each box contains 8 crayons, multiply 8 x 48 equals to 384 and now multiply 6 * 8 equals to 48. and add 384 and 48 equals 432. I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: There are 432 crayons the center receive.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cases of crayons =
`2(1)/(4)=(9)/(4)`

Number of boxes of crayons = 24

Number of crayons in each box = 8

Number of crayons the center receive is given by

`(9)/(4)* 24* 8\\\\=9* 6* 8\\\\=54* 8\\\\=432`

Hence, there are 432 crayons the center receive.
