Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 432 crayons.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a store donated
`2 (1)/(4)` crayons to a day care centre. Also, each case holds 24 boxes of crayons and each box holds 8 crayons. We are to find the number of crayons that the centre receive.

In 1 box, number of crayons = 8.

So, in 24 boxes, number of crayons = 8 × 24 = 192.

Since there are
`2(1)/(4)` cases i.e.,
`(9)/(4)` cases,

so number of crayons in 1 case = 192

and number of crayons in
`(9)/(4)` cases

`=(9)/(4)* 192=432~~\textup{crayons}.`

Thus, the total number of crayons that centre receive is 432.
