Solution

Solution Steps

To find the total number of cards Rafael has, multiply the number of decks, $ n $, by the number of cards in each deck, which is 52. This will give the total number of cards across all decks.

Step 1: Define the Problem

Rafael has $ n $ decks of cards, and each deck contains 52 cards. We need to find the total number of cards he has.

Step 2: Formulate the Expression

The total number of cards $ T $ can be expressed mathematically as: \[ T = n \times 52 \]

Step 3: Calculate for $ n = 5 $

Substituting $ n = 5 $ into the expression: \[ T = 5 \times 52 = 260 \]
