Given that Sara put 7 boxes in her closet.

So number of boxes = 7

Then it says that each box is for holding a different type of seashell. So far, there are 0 shells in each box.

So the number of seashell in 1 box = 0

We need to find about how many shells does Sara have.

To find that we will just multiply (number of boxes) by (number of seashell in 1 box). Which is given by 7 times 0.

we know that product of a number and 0 is always 0.

Hence final answer is 0 seashell.
