Mr. R.’s World of Math

“Fluffie!” I yelled, “What happened to you? You’re giant!” He just looked at me and said, “Carrots eat, carrots eat, carrots, carrots, carrots eat.”

“Carrots? What do carrots have to do with turning into a giant?” I said, not even thinking about the fact that Fluffie also had learned how to speak.

“Ate too, too, too many carrots,” said Fluffie, and he looked towards the small refrigerator we had in the class that held his carrots. It was open, and I saw all of the bags of carrots lying on the floor, empty. “You ate all the carrots!” I yelled. Fluffie nodded his head.

If there were 34 empty bags of carrots on the floor, and each bag had had 8 carrots in it, how many carrots had Fluffie the Rabbit eaten in total?
