Sagot :

To determine the number of desks left after four were removed, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total number of desks initially:
- The classroom had 8 rows of desks.
- Each row had 6 desks.
- Multiply the number of rows by the number of desks per row.
[tex]\[ 8 \text{ rows} \times 6 \text{ desks per row} = 48 \text{ desks} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the total number of desks after removal:
- Initially, there were 48 desks.
- Four desks were removed from these.
- Subtract the number of desks removed from the initial number of desks.
[tex]\[ 48 \text{ desks} - 4 \text{ desks} = 44 \text{ desks} \][/tex]

Therefore, the number of desks left is 44.
The correct answer is:

- ○ 44
