Okay, Troy! Let’s figure out how many stickers you have together. You have 3 packs of stickers, and in each pack, there are 5 stickers.
To find out the total number of stickers, we can use multiplication. Multiplication is like adding the same number over and over. So here, we are going to add 5 stickers, 3 times.
Let’s do it step by step:
- First pack: 5 stickers
- Second pack: 5 stickers
- Third pack: 5 stickers
If we add them together, it looks like this:
5 + 5 + 5 = 15
So, if we multiply 3 packs by 5 stickers in each pack, we can also say:
3 x 5 = 15
This means you have a total of 15 stickers!
