Answer 1

There are 3 shirts.
Each shirt has 5 buttons.
Total number of buttons = 3 $\times$ 5
= 15
3 shirts will have 15 buttons.

There are 4 fans.
Each fan has 3 blades.
Total number of blades = 4 $\times$ 3
= 12
There are 12 blades in all.

There are 7 boxes.
Each box has 6 apples.
Total number of apples = 7 $\times$ 6
= 42
Seven boxes will have 42 apples.

There are 4 triangles.
Each triangle has 3 corners.
Total number of corners = 4 $\times$ 3
= 12
There would be 12 corners in 4 triangles.
