The store clerk created a display of \( r \) rows of cereal boxes. Each row contained 16 boxes. Write an expression that shows the total number of cereal boxes on display.

To find the total number of cereal boxes on display, you can multiply the number of rows \( r \) by the number of boxes in each row, which is 16. Thus, the expression for the total number of cereal boxes is \( 16r \). Now, if you want to visualize this, imagine walking into a store and seeing rows upon rows of colorful cereal boxes. Each row packs in 16 boxes, making it a feast for the eyes and a delight for breakfast lovers! If you had, say, 5 rows, you’d have 80 boxes to choose from. Talk about cereal paradise!
