Answer 1

To find out how many books Micaela and her friends collected altogether, you can multiply the number of shelters by the number of books each shelter received.

There are 4 shelters, and each received 18 books:

\[ 4 \text{ shelters} \times 18 \text{ books/shelter} = 72 \text{ books} \]

Therefore, the total number of books collected is 72.

So the correct response is 72.
