Answer = 6 x 2
This is determined by the number of columns and rows
Rows = 2
Columns = 6
After multiplying both numbers that number of squares is 12

The correct multiplication problem is represented by option b:
(5)/(6) * (1)/(2)

To find the multiplication problem represented by this model, we need to consider the fraction of shaded boxes in each row.

For the 1st row:

There are a total of 6 boxes in the 1st row.

5 are shaded green.

1 is yellow.

So, the fraction of shaded boxes in the 1st row is
(5)/(6) (green boxes) and
(1)/(6) (yellow box).

For the 2nd row:

There are a total of 6 boxes in the 2nd row.

5 are shaded blue.

1 is left blank.

So, the fraction of shaded boxes in the 2nd row is
(5)/(6) (blue boxes) and
(1)/(6) (blank box).

Now, we need to find the product of the fractions for each row, which corresponds to the multiplication problem:


(5)/(6) * (5)/(6)

This matches with option: b
(5)/(6) * (1)/(2)
