Answer 1

Answer:

there is something wrong with the question since a guitar has 6 strings, so I believe that the numbers were copied three times.

Assuming that Leslie tuned a 6 string guitar and she also tuned a piano that has 37 times as  many strings, then the piano has 37 x 6 = 222 strings.

• Option B is correct: the piano has 222 strings, because 37 times 6 = 222
