Lily has 3 boxes of crayons. Each box has 8 crayons. How many crayons does Lily have in total? How many would she have if she gave her friend Riley 4 crayons?

How many crayons Lily have total? How many would she have if she shares with Riley?

1) Total number of crayons (step-by-step arithmetic) You can think of the total as either multiplication or repeated addition. Repeated addition (digit-by-digit): 8 + 8 = 16. 16 + 8 = 24. So the total is 24 crayons. Multiplication check: 3 × 8. 3 × 8 = 24. (One digit times one digit → 24.) 2) If she gives Riley 4 crayons We subtract 4 from the total: Start with 24 crayons. Compute 24−4 24−4 digit-by-digit: Units: 4 − 4 = 0 Tens: 2 − 0 = 2 Result: 20 crayons remain with Lily. (Check: 20 + 4 = 24.) 3) If “shares with Riley” means splits the crayons equally between Lily and Riley If she shares all her crayons equally, she divides 24 by 2: Long division idea (digit steps): 2 into 2 → 1 (gives 2), remainder 0. Bring down 4 → 2 into 4 → 2. Result: 12 each. So Lily would have 12 crayons and Riley would have 12 crayons. Short answers Total crayons Lily has: 24. If she gives Riley 4 crayons: Lily has 20. If she shares equally with Riley (split all crayons): Lily has 12 (Riley 12). <a href="https://basketballlegends.fun">basketball legends</a>
