1. **Problem:** Calculate the total number of ice cream scoops eaten by Tino's baseball team. 2. **Given:** Each of the 18 team members ordered a 4-scoop sundae. 3. **Formula:** Total scoops = Number of members $\times$ Scoops per member 4. **Calculation:** $$\text{Total scoops} = 18 \times 4$$ 5. Multiply: $$18 \times 4 = 72$$ 6. **Answer:** The team ate 72 scoops of ice cream altogether. 1. **Problem:** Find the total number of chocolate chips Johanna uses. 2. **Given:** 6 chips per cookie, 24 cookies. 3. **Formula:** Total chips = Number of cookies $\times$ Chips per cookie 4. **Calculation:** $$\text{Total chips} = 24 \times 6$$ 5. Multiply: $$24 \times 6 = 144$$ 6. **Answer:** Johanna uses 144 chocolate chips. 1. **Problem:** Calculate total ounces of toffee Paulo sold. 2. **Given:** 17 boxes, each with 9 ounces. 3. **Formula:** Total toffee = Number of boxes $\times$ Ounces per box 4. **Calculation:** $$\text{Total toffee} = 17 \times 9$$ 5. Decompose 17 as $10 + 7$ and use distributive property: $$17 \times 9 = (10 + 7) \times 9 = (10 \times 9) + (7 \times 9)$$ 6. Calculate each part: $$10 \times 9 = 90$$ $$7 \times 9 = 63$$ 7. Add partial products: $$90 + 63 = 153$$ 8. **Answer:** Paulo sold 153 ounces of toffee.
