[?] earbuds

Multiply 8 by 3 to find out how many earbuds will be inside 12 cases.

Answer :

Sure, let's solve the problem step by step.

1. Understand the relationship given in the problem:
- 4 cases hold 8 earbuds.

2. Calculate the number of earbuds per case:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of earbuds per case} = \frac{8 \text{ earbuds}}{4 \text{ cases}} = 2 \text{ earbuds per case}
\][/tex]

3. Find the total number of earbuds in 12 cases:
- Since we have already calculated that each case holds 2 earbuds, we can find the number of earbuds in 12 cases by multiplying the number of earbuds per case by the number of cases:
[tex]\[
\text{Total number of earbuds in 12 cases} = 2 \text{ earbuds per case} \times 12 \text{ cases} = 24 \text{ earbuds}
\][/tex]

So, the number of earbuds in 12 cases is [tex]\( \boxed{24} \)[/tex].
