Step 3: Multiply the number of items per lunch by the number of students. 3 items/lunch × 75 students = 225 total items. The answer is 225.

  3. 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, __ = ? Answer: 36 Solution: Each term increases by 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. The next term is 30 + 6 = 36.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Each term increases by 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. Step 2: The next term is 30 + 6 = 36. The answer is 36.

  4. A school is organizing a field trip and needs to pack lunches for all the students. Each lunch box contains 6 cookies. If there are 75 students going on the trip, how many cookies need to be packed in total? Answer: 450 Solution: Identify the number of groups (students) and the number of items in each group (cookies per lunch box). There are 75 students, and each student gets a lunch box with 6 cookies.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Identify the number of groups (students) and the number of items in each group (cookies per lunch box). Step 2: There are 75 students, and each student gets a lunch box with 6 cookies. Step 3: To find the total number of cookies, multiply the number of students by the number of cookies per student: 75 × 6. Step 4: Calculate 75 × 6. First, multiply 70 × 6 = 420. Then, multiply 5 × 6 = 30. Step 5: Add the two results: 420 + 30 = 450. The total number of cookies that need to be packed is 450.

  5. A bakery is preparing for a school fair and needs to make cupcakes. They plan to put 8 cupcakes in each box. If they need to fill 24 boxes completely, how many cupcakes do they need to bake in total? Answer: 192 Solution: The bakery has 24 boxes. Each box holds 8 cupcakes.

  8. Liam is organizing his sticker collection into a large book. Each page of the book holds 8 rows of stickers, and each row can fit 12 stickers. If Liam completely fills 7 pages, how many stickers does he have in total? Answer: 672 Solution: First, find the number of stickers on one page. Each page has 8 rows, and each row holds 12 stickers.
    Full step-by-step solution

    First, find the number of stickers on one page. Each page has 8 rows, and each row holds 12 stickers. So, stickers per page = number of rows × stickers per row Stickers per page = 8 × 12 8 × 12 = 96 So, one page holds 96 stickers. Now, Liam fills 7 pages completely. Total stickers = number of pages × stickers per page Total stickers = 7 × 96 Calculate 7 × 96. First, 7 × 90 = 630 Then, 7 × 6 = 42 Now add them: 630 + 42 = 672 Therefore, the total number of stickers is 672. ANSWER: 672
