Answer:

C. The cost of a box of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.

Why is it important to know the different properties of three-dimensional figures

IgorLugansk [536]

A two-dimensional shape has length and width. A three-dimensional solid shape also has depth. Three-dimensional shapes, by their nature, have an inside and an outside, separated by a surface. All physical items, things you can touch, are three-dimensional.

Divide 1000 by 8 which would give you 125. So they have 125 cans and they need to collect 8 times as many, meaning 8 times of what they have which is 125. And 125 times 8 is equal to 1000. YOU'RE WELCOME :D
