Think about this one...
If a team has 28 students, and there is only 1 team,
how many students are there? 28 .
Now imagine there are 2 teams, each with 28 students.
How many students are there? There are two batches of 28, that is 28 + 28 , or 2 * 28 .
What if there are 3 teams of 28 students? There will be 28 + 28 + 28 = 3 * 28
If there are 37 teams, each with 28 students, there are 37 batches of 28 students.
How many students are there?
