Question: Jack is trying to stack cans in his emergency bunker. If he can fit 12 cans in one row, 4 rows on one shelf, and 10 shelves in one closet, how many cans can he store in each closet? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
First find the total number of cans Jack can fit on one shelf: 12 cans / row * 4 rows / shelf = 48 cans / shelf. Then find the number of cans he can fit on all the shelves in one closet: 48 cans / shelf * 10 shelves = 480 cans. So the answer is 480.
