1. The problem states that a box has 12 rows of apples, but we need more information to find the total number of apples, such as how many apples are in each row. 2. Without the number of apples per row, it is impossible to calculate the total number of apples. 3. If you provide the number of apples in each row, the total number of apples can be found by multiplying the number of rows by the number of apples per row using the formula: $$\text{Total apples} = \text{Number of rows} \times \text{Apples per row}$$ 4. For example, if each row has $10$ apples, then the total is: $$12 \times 10 = 120$$ 5. Please provide the number of apples in each row to get the exact total.
