Kimberly arranges 18 markers as a array. Draw an array that kimberly might make. Then write a multiplication equation to describe your array

Arrays are used to represent data in rows and columns. Kimberly might have drawn a 3 by 6 array to represent the 18 markers. The equation of a 3 by 6 array is: [tex]3 \times 6 = 18[/tex]

An array is represented by rows (R) and columns (C).

Given that

[tex]Markers = 18[/tex]

It means that the product of the rows and columns must equal 18. i.e.

[tex]R \times C = 18[/tex]

The possible values are:

[tex]R \times C = 18[/tex]

[tex]1 \times 18 = 18[/tex] ---- this means 1 by 18 array

[tex]2 \times 9 = 18[/tex] ---- this means 2 by 9 array

[tex]3 \times 6 = 18[/tex] ---- this means 3 by 6 array

So, Kimberly could have drawn any of the following arrays:

1 by 18 array

2 by 9 array

3 by 6 array

I've added as an attachment, a 3 by 6 array where:

[tex]Rows = 3[/tex]

[tex]Columns = 6[/tex]

[tex]Markers = 18[/tex]

[tex]Equation: 3 \times 6 = 18[/tex]
