A school ordered 323 new science books. If each book has 421 pages, how many total pages are there combined in the new science books?

Question

A.
138,890 pages
B.
19,703 pages
C.
135,983 pages
D.
2,261 pages

Answer 1

To find the total number of pages in the new science books, you multiply the number of books by the number of pages per book:

$$\text{Total pages}=\text{Number of books}\times \text{Pages per book}=323\times 421$$

Now, performing the multiplication:

$$323\times 421=136,763$$

Since 136,763 is not among the options given (A. 138,890 pages, B. 19,703 pages, C. 135,983 pages, D. 2,261 pages), it seems there may be a mistake in the options or the problem itself.

However, based on the calculations, the correct total number of pages should be 136,763 pages.
