Question

There are 3 rows of boxes on a pallet and 24 boxes on each row. How many boxes are there altogether?

Answer 1

Simple multiplication so 3 x 24 = 72 so there are 72 boxes all together.

Answer 2

If there are 3 rows of boxes, and 24 on each, we then have 24 boxes, three times. This is then 24 + 24 + 24, or 72.
