Question

What is the total number of counters in the image shown?

• A. 3 times 8 = 21
• B. 3 pulse 8 = 24
• C. 3 times 8 = 24
• D. 2 times 8 = 16

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 times 8 = 24

• There are 3 groups of counters.
• There are 8 counters in each group.
• 3 groups each having 8 counters means we have 3 times 8 counters.
• Therefore, the total number of counters

= 3 times 8
= 8 + 8 + 8
= 24

• Hence, option C is correct.
