Given:
Kim's array has 4 rows and 9 colums.
Rashida's array has 9 rows and 4 columns.
Let's determine the array that has more items.
To find the total number of items in an array, apply the formula:
Total number of items in an array = (number of rows) x (number of columns)
Now, using the formula above, let's find the number of items in each array.
• Number of items in Kim's array:
Number of items = 4 x 9 = 36
There are 36 items in Kim's array.
• Number of items in Rashida's array:
Number of items = 9 x 4 = 36
There are 36 items in Rashida's array.
Kim's array and Rashida's array have the same number of items.
Therefore, we can say both arrays have equal number of items.
ANSWER:
Both arrays have equal items.
