Question

Mrs. Pepin set up chairs for a class play. She had 24 chairs.

First she set up the chairs in eight rows. Then, she tried setting them up in three rows.

Choose two equations that show the two ways Mrs. Pepin arranged the 24 chairs.

Answers:

8×3=248

3×6=183

6×4=246

8×2=168

3×8=24

Answer 1

8 × 3 = 24

3 × 8 = 24

Explanation:

if she should arrange the chairs in 8 rows that will mean she set 3 chairs per row.

if she then changed the arrangement by arranging the chairs in 3 rows that means she set 8 chairs per row.

in the first paragraph that I wrote, here is how I got it.

24÷8 = 3

8 × 3 = 24

in the second paragraph I wrote, here is how I got it.

24 ÷ 3 = 8

3 × 8 = 24

Therefore your answer will be.

8 × 3 = 24

3 × 8 = 24
