Question

a pet store has 85 tanks of tadpoles. there are 44 tadpoles in each tank. how many tadpoles does the pet store have in all?

tadpoles

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total tanks and per-tank count

Total tanks = 85, tadpoles per tank = 44

Step2: Calculate total tadpoles

Total = $85 \times 44$
$85 \times 44 = (80 + 5) \times 44 = 80\times44 + 5\times44 = 3520 + 220 = 3740$

Answer:

3740 tadpoles
