A shop orders 12 boxes of marbles.
Each box contains 8 tins of marbles.
Each tin holds 35 marbles.
How many marbles does the shop order in total?



Answer :

First, we need to determine the total number of tins ordered by the shop. Since each box contains 8 tins and the shop orders 12 boxes, we would calculate the total number of tins by multiplying the number of boxes by the number of tins per box: Total tins = Number of boxes * Number of tins per box Total tins = 12 * 8 Total tins = 96 So, the shop has ordered a total of 96 tins. Next, we'll calculate the total number of marbles ordered. Since each tin contains 35 marbles, we multiply the total number of tins by the number of marbles per tin: Total marbles = Total tins * Number of marbles per tin Total marbles = 96 * 35 Total marbles = 3360 Therefore, the shop has ordered a total of 3360 marbles.
