Answer 1

Hint: Here the given question is statement solving, and to solve the question we need to write the mathematical expression and then solve further. The statement here is given about the printing press which prints some number of books and each book has the same number of pages, here we need to calculate the total number of pages.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here the given question is about solving for the total number of pages, to solve for this, here we need to solve by multiplying the books with the number of pages, on solving we get:
The data given are:
Total books are: 36124 books
No. of pages in each books: 213pages
For total number of pages we have to multiply the number of books with the pages, on solving we get:
\[ \Rightarrow 36124 \times 213 = 7694412\] pages.
Here we get the total number of pages.

Note: Here the given question is a statement type question, in which we need to do product operation in order to get the required number of pages, as we framed the equation according to the statement, here we solved for the number of pages as asked by question.
