Jill has seven bags. Each bag contains twelve cookies. How many cookies does she have in all?
7 x 12 = 84. Since there are 7 bags and 12 cookies in each bag, there are 7 groups of 12 or 7 x 12 which equals 84.
4 x 48 = 192. Since there are 4 boxes and 48 cans in each box, there are 4 groups of 48 or 4 x 48 which equals 192.
