4. A warehouse has 3 shelves long enough to hold 8 boxes and high enough to hold 4 boxes. All the shelves are full. How many boxes are on the shelves all together?

A warehouse with 3 shelves that can hold 8 boxes each means you have a total of 3 multiplied by 8. That gives you 24 boxes on the shelves wide. Now, considering the height, if each shelf can hold 4 boxes high, you can multiply that by the number of shelves too. So, 3 shelves times 4 high gives you a whopping 12 boxes vertically on each shelf! But remember, it's already established that all shelves are full, so it's just 24 boxes. While you might not need advanced math to figure this out, visualizing it can make it even more accessible! Picture stacking those boxes like building blocks. Each layer has 8 boxes on it, making for a colorful and neat arrangement—perfect for a warehouse!
