Question

Emily buys 15 baskets of strawberries to share with her class. If each basket contains 12 strawberries, then emily has strawberries.

• A. $180$
• B. $150$
• C. $210$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $180$

Emily has 15 baskets with her and each basket contains 12 strawberries.
Then, the total number of strawberries she has to share $=15\times 12$
Let's use box method to simplify this question;
$\Rightarrow 15\times 12=(10+5)\times (10+2)$

$\Rightarrow 15\times 12=100+50+20+10=180$
So, Emily has a total of 180 starawberries with her to share.
