to find how much you would need to cover the bottom of the locker, you would use the numbers 3 and 2, then multiply them and you get 6. You would need 6 basketballs to cover the bottom of the locker. That would be your first layer
5 layers would be 6 x 5 = 30
So the bottom would be filled with 6 basketballs. Now since the locker is 5 feet high multiply 6 x 5 and that would get you your total of basketballs
