Answer 1

To find out how many books Micaela and her three friends collected altogether, we can calculate the total number of books given to the shelters.

There are 4 homeless shelters and each shelter received 18 books.

The total number of books is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total books} = \text{Number of shelters} \times \text{Books per shelter} = 4 \times 18 = 72 \]

Thus, Micaela and her friends collected a total of 72 books.
