56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of girls = 3

Number of boys = 4

Each student makes 8 paper airplanes.

To find:

The total number of airplanes = ?

Solution:

There can be two ways to find the total number of airplanes.

Method 1:

Keep on adding the number of airplanes for each student.

There are a total of 3+4 = 7 number of students.

First student makes = 8 airplanes

Second student makes = 8 airplanes

Third student makes = 8 airplanes

Fourth student makes = 8 airplanes

Fifth student makes = 8 airplanes

Sixth student makes = 8 airplanes

Seventh student makes = 8 airplanes

Total number of airplanes = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 56

Method 2:

Simply multiply number of airplanes each student makes with the number of students.

i.e. 8 7 = 56

the answer is b i just did that
