Answer 1

Answer:

a. There are 8 plastic shapes in each box.

b. There are 2976 plastic shapes in box altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 3 triangles + 5 squares = 8 shapes (3 + 5 = 8) so, each box has 8 plastic shapes.

b. Each box has 8 plastic shapes, and there are 372 such boxes then we will do multiplication-

372 X 8 = 2976

so, altogether there are 2976 plastic shapes.
