Eggs are shipped from the farm to market by truck. They are packed 12 eggs to a carton and 20 cartons to a box. 4 boxes are placed in each crate. Crates are stacked on a truck 8 crates wide, 6 crates deep, and 5 crates high. How many eggs are on a truck?

12 eggs to a carton,

20 cartons to a box,

4 boxes are placed in each crate,

12*20*4=960

960 eggs in a crate

Crates are stacked on a truck 8 crates wide,

6 crates deep,

and 5 crates high.

8*6*5=240

240 crates in a truck

So Total crates in a truck= 960*240= 230400 eggs

12 X 20 X 4 X 8 X 6 X 5 =

12 X 20 X 4 = eggs per crate

The 8 x 6 x 5 is sort of a volume calculations, more typically used in units like cubic. feet. but giving volume of crates in this case.

multiply

Thanks Man!
