piper saw a large box of ping pong balls with 48 balls in each layer if the box has 5 layers how many balls can the box hold

The answer is 240. The box can hold 240 balls.

Explanation:

To obtain this result, you would have to assume filling completely all layers of the box. If each layer can hold 48 balls, and the box itself has 5 layers, then you would have to multiply 48 balls by 5 layers. Then:

48*5=240

You get a total of 240 balls to completely fill the five layers of the box.

Since there is 5 layers of 48 balls, we multiply them together. 48x5=240
