Answer 2

Answer:

49 pairs of individual shoes are there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 49 pairs of shoes

To find: Total number of individual shoes from 49 pairs of shoes

So from the given statement we have 49 pairs of shoes  

Hence it is know that in each pair of shoes there will be 2 shoes

That is 1 pair of shoes =2 shoes

Therefore 49 pairs of shoes =49 x 2

                                             =98 shoes

So we have 98 individual shoes in 49 pairs of shoes
