How many total candies did Andrea buy if she purchased 5 packs with each pack containing 12 candies?

To find the total number of candies Andrea bought, you need to multiply the number of packs by the number of candies in each pack. In this case, Andrea purchased 5 packs, and each pack contains 12 candies.

Calculating this involves the operation:

5 packs × 12 candies/pack = 60 candies.

This calculation shows that Andrea bought a total of 60 candies. Thus, the correct answer reflects the result of this multiplication, which confirms the total number of candies purchased.

Other choices can be understood as results of different calculations that do not align with the information given (5 packs of 12 candies each). Their values do not arise from the multiplication process specified in the question.
