Salem loves to write poems, and she always stores her poem in a creativity box kept safely in her home library. Last week, she created a poem with 20 stanzas. If each stanza has 10 lines, and each line has 8 words, calculate the total number of words in the poem. Let's be accurate as possible.
If each line that Salem created in her poem has 8 words, the total number of words in a stanza, which is 10 lines, is 8 words / line * 10 lines / stanza = 80 words / stanza. With 20 stanzas, each containing 80 words per stanza, the total is 80 words / stanza * 20 stanzas = 1600 words in all the stanzas(poem).
The answer: 1600.
