There are 36 marbles in three boxes. How many marbles are in 5 boxes? (All boxes contain the same number of marbles.)

1 answer

There are a total of 36 marbles in 3 boxes. Therefore, each box contains 36 marbles / 3 boxes = 12 marbles.

If there are 12 marbles in each box and we have 5 boxes in total, then there would be 12 marbles x 5 boxes = 60 marbles in 5 boxes.

Therefore, there are 60 marbles in 5 boxes.
