A store sells a shirt in 6 different colors. The shirts are displayed on 3 shelves. On each shelf there are 2 shirts of each color. Which can be used to find the total number of shirts on the shelves?
36?
tell me the answer please
To find the total number of shirts on the shelves, we need to calculate the number of shirts on each shelf first. Since there are 2 shirts of each color on each shelf, there are 6 colors and each color has 2 shirts. Therefore, there are 6 * 2 = 12 shirts on each shelf.
Since there are 3 shelves in total, we can multiply the number of shirts on each shelf by the number of shelves to get the total number of shirts.
Mathematically, the total number of shirts on the shelves can be found by multiplying the number of shirts on each shelf (12) by the number of shelves (3).
Therefore, the total number of shirts on the shelves is 12 * 3 = 36 shirts.
so, there are 2*6 = 12 shirts on each shelf.
Now multiply that by the number of shelves
