Question

A sporting goods store ordered 144 cans of tennis balls.Each can contains 3 balls. How many tennis balls did the store order?

Answer 1

144 divided by 3 equals 48

Answer 2

To figure out how many tennis balls the store ordered, all we have to do is multiply the amount in each container (3) by the number of containers ordered (144)

3 x 144 = 432

Therefore the store ordered 432 tennis balls
