In a newspaper, each one of 12 pages holds 2 photos and each of another 9 pages hold 3 photos. How many photos are used in the newspaper? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The number of photos in the first batch of pages is 12 * 2 = 24 photos. The number of photos in the second batch is 9 * 3 = 27 photos. The total number of photos used in the newspaper is 24 + 27 = 51 photos. So, the answer is 51.
