Question

There are 82 packs of gum for sale at the corner store. Each pack has 8 sticks of gum. How many sticks of gum are there for sale at the corner store.

Answer 1

656 sticks of gum

Explanation:

1 pack = 8 sticks

82 packs = 8 x 82 = 656

656 sticks of gum

If they said 2 packs had 8 sticks in total then you would divide by two first to find for one pack, and then multiply by the number of packs in the quesion.
