Patti has some of her action figures in 6 bodes with 36 in each box. She has some in 4 boxes with 15 in each box. How many action figures does Patti have in her collection .?
6*36 + 4*15 = ?
Answer: 276
Showing work: 36 x 6 = 216 || 15 x 4 = 60 || 216 + 60 = 276
To find out how many action figures Patti has in her collection, we need to add up the number of action figures in each box.
First, let's calculate the number of action figures in the 6 boxes with 36 in each box. We can do this by multiplying the number of action figures per box (36) by the number of boxes (6):
Number of action figures in 6 boxes = 36 action figures/box * 6 boxes = 216 action figures
Next, let's calculate the number of action figures in the 4 boxes with 15 in each box. We can again use multiplication to find this:
Number of action figures in 4 boxes = 15 action figures/box * 4 boxes = 60 action figures
Now, to find the total number of action figures, we simply add the number of action figures in both sets of boxes:
Total number of action figures = Number of action figures in 6 boxes + Number of action figures in 4 boxes
= 216 action figures + 60 action figures
= 276 action figures
Therefore, Patti has 276 action figures in her collection.
