Final answer:
To find the product of two factors, multiply them together. For example, the factors 6 and 7 multiply to give a product of 42 (Option A). In option C, the factors 3 and 8 multiply to give a product of 24, confirmning that it is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To identify the two factors that were multiplied together to form an array of tiles and to find the product of these two factors, one simply multiplies the two given numbers. For instance, if the factors are 6 and 7, multiplying them gives us the product 42 (Option A).
In the case of option C, factor 1 is 3 and factor 2 is 8. When we multiply these two factors together, we get 3 × 8, which equals 24. Therefore, the product is correct for option C, making it the correct answer.
All the other options can be analyzed similarly:
-
- Option B: 4 × 5 equals 20, which is the correct product for those factors.
-
- Option D: 2 × 9 equals 18, which is the correct product for those factors.
Without additional context, it's not possible to determine which specific array of tiles the question pertains to, so all presented options can be correct if they refer to different arrays of tiles.
