How many do they sell in 8 hours?

00:00 How many pitas are sold in 8 hours?

00:03 Given: number of pitas per hour, number of hours

00:07 We will use long multiplication to calculate

00:11 We will solve each multiplication separately and then place it in the long multiplication

00:28 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, we'll determine the total number of muffins sold in 8 hours using the given hourly rate.

Step 1: Identify the given information: The bakery sells 51 muffins in one hour, and we need to calculate for 8 hours.
Step 2: Use the multiplication formula: $\text{Total muffins} = \text{Muffins per hour} \times \text{Number of hours}$
Step 3: Perform the multiplication: $51 \text{ muffins/hour} \times 8 \text{ hours} = 408 \text{ muffins}$

Thus, the total number of muffins sold in 8 hours is $408$ .

$408$
