The best way to multiply complicated problems mentally* is to break them into chunks.
Start with 20 times 8 to get 160, and then 8 times 5 to get 40. Add these together to get 200. 200 times 3 is 600, and 20 times 200 is 4000. Add these together to get your final answer, 4600.
In other words 8 x 20 + 8 x 5 = 200 200 x 3 + 200 x 20 = 4600
*I assumed you meant mentally, because otherwise you'd just multiply longhand, multiplying two of the three numbers and then multiplying their product with the third.
Im not sure about the given data but I plotted the scatter plot based on what I understand on how the data should be presented.
Time (years)
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
Number of participants(x1000)
22, 25, 28, 14, 17, 20,15, 9
Attached is the scatter plot created online.
x = time (years)
y = number of participantep explanation

2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helps. :)
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.
P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so
2(3W+W)=176
2(4W)=176
8W=176
W=22 ft, since L=3W
L=66 ft
So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.
