To find the total number of cans saved after 3 weeks, you need to multiply the number of people in Joan's family by the number of cans each person saves each week, and then multiply that result by the number of weeks.
In this case, there are 4 people in Joan's family and each person saves 5 cans each week. So, the total number of cans saved by one person in one week would be 4 * 5 = 20 cans.
To find the total number of cans saved after 3 weeks, you can multiply the number of cans saved per week by the number of weeks: 20 cans * 3 weeks = 60 cans.
Therefore, Joan's family has saved 60 cans after 3 weeks.
