Learning student need help with figuring out routing.
Trying to route the 3 routers and ping pc2 from pc1. Issue comes up as unable to reach destination but I have created routes to and from both PC in the routers.
Solved.
My issue in this was that Routing was wrong to begin with.
I thought it was
input
masking
output
but I was wrong,
address it wants to reach
masking
what is next in the chain to reach address
Thank you for those who took a look

Both R1 and R3 drop ping packets as they say "no route" to destination; with static routeing, all routers must know all possible routes/networks and how to reach them.
Router knows about its directly connected networks (interfaces) but not for any remote ones. so , you must add static route for every single destination you want to reach;
Alternately, if your router is on the edge network with one way out, you can add default route pointing to next hop, aka ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x. this is mostly done on router connected to ISP for the Internet traffic in order to avoid routes exchanging with ISP (BGP permitted) or adding lots of static routes entries (not possible for every single Internet destination)
