Question 19

27 shipping labels are needed each day.

To determine the total number of shipping labels required, you must multiply the number of boxes shipped by the number of labels needed for each box. Therefore, with 9 boxes and 3 labels per box, the calculation is 9 multiplied by 3, resulting in 27 labels needed.

A) 7

Option A is incorrect because it underestimates the total number of shipping labels. The calculation clearly shows that 9 boxes with 3 labels each results in 27 labels, thus 7 labels do not meet the requirement.

B) 3

Option B is also incorrect as it suggests that only 3 labels are needed in total. This figure only accounts for the labels for one box and does not consider the 9 boxes being shipped.

C) 27

Option C is correct because it accurately reflects the total number of shipping labels needed. By multiplying the number of boxes (9) by the number of labels per box (3), the result is 27, which is the required amount.

D) 24

Option D is incorrect since it fails to account for the full quantity of labels required. The calculation of 9 boxes times 3 labels yields 27, not 24, indicating that this option is insufficient.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 27 labels, is derived from the straightforward multiplication of the number of boxes by the labels required for each box. All other options fail to meet the correct total due to either underestimating the requirements or miscalculating the necessary labels. Thus, option C is the only accurate choice.
