The number in the timer display is the unit of measure
The table legs is the unit of measure
The paper roll is the unit of measure
Steps:
1. The sum of the timer displays (2+2+2)= 6
2. The timer display (2) + the table legs (8) = 10
3. The table legs (4) + the number of rolls (12) = 16
4. The number of rolls (4) + the table legs (3) x timer display (5) = ?
4 + 3 x 5 = ?
4 + (3 x 5) = ? <== remember the order of operations (PEMDAS)
4 + 15 = ?
