Answer 1

The correct visual representation using integer tiles for the product of 4 and 2 is an array with 8 positive tiles. If you are looking at options with arrays of tiles, the correct one will have this 2x4 arrangement.

Correct Option is 1st option

To show the product of 4 and 2 using integer tiles, follow these steps:

1. Identify the multiplicands: In this multiplication, 4 and 2 are the multiplicands.

2. Create rows for the first multiplicand: Since the first number is 4, you create 4 tiles in a row. These tiles will represent the number 4.

3. Create columns for the second multiplicand: Since the second number is 2, you create 2 such rows of 4 tiles each. This creates a rectangle or array that visually represents the multiplication.

4. Count the total tiles: The total number of tiles in the array will be the product of 4 and 2. Since you have 2 rows of 4 tiles each, the total number of tiles is
`\(4 * 2 = 8\).`

5. Result: You will have an array with 2 rows and 4 columns, totaling 8 tiles, to represent the product of 4 and 2.
