Question

Fred wants to separate 4 X 4 array into a 2 X4 array and a 3 X 4 array.Can Fred do this? Explain.3rd grade subject

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two arrays: 2 x 4 and 3 x 4

Combining these two arrays will give:

`(2*4)+(3*4)=(2+3)*4=5*4`

A combination will give a (5 x 4) array as shown above.

Therefore, Fred cannot separate a (4 x 4) array into a 2 X4 array and a 3 X 4 array.
