Question

There are three separate, equal-size boxes, and inside each box there are four separate small boxes, and inside each of the small boxes there are three even smaller boxes. how many boxes are there all together?

Answer 1

There are 51 boxes all together.

Explanation:

Since there are three separate, equal-size boxes, and inside each box there are four separate small boxes, and inside each of the small boxes there are three even smaller boxes, to determine how many boxes are there all together, the following calculation must be done:

3 + 3 x 4 + 3 x 4 x 3 = X

3 + 12 + 36 = X

51 = X

Therefore, there are 51 boxes all together.
