Eric picked 8 baskets of apples. There were 26 apples in each basket. How many apples did he pick?

26 x 8

= 208

26 divided by 8= 3.25

To find out how many apples Eric picked, we need to multiply the number of baskets by the number of apples in each basket.

Step 1: Multiply the number of baskets by the number of apples in each basket.
8 baskets × 26 apples/basket = 208 apples.

Therefore, Eric picked a total of 208 apples.
