Don't forget order of operations. Parenthesis then exponents then multiplication then division then addition and finally subtraction. There is only multiplication and addition in the problem so multiplication comes first followed by addition. Also, the clock has the hour hand at two not three like the previous examples.

If hay sells by the gallon,
and maple syrup by bales,
how many bags of sawdust does it take to make a 6 inch nail?
