Michaela and three of her friends volunteered to collect children's books for the city's homeless shelters. There are 4 homeless shelters in the area, and each shelter received 18 books. How many may books did Micaela and her three friends collect altogether. A 4.5. B 72. C 18. D 27.
The total number of books collected by Michaela and her three friends can be calculated as follows:
Number of shelters x Number of books per shelter = Total number of books collected
4 shelters x 18 books = 72 books
