Question

32 cupcakes are arranged in an array. There are 8 rows of cupcakes. How many cupcakes are there in each row?

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $5$
• D. $8$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $4$

Given,

• Total number of cupcakes = 32
• Number of rows = 8
• We have to find the number of cupcakes in each row.
• Let’s take the number of cupcakes in each row as “s”.
• The multiplication equation will be

Number of rows $\times$ Number of cupcakes in each row = Total number of cupcakes
$8\times s=32$

• We know that 8 times 4 = 8 ✕ 4 = 32
• Therefore, s = 4
• Hence, there are 4 cupcakes in each row.
• Hence, option B is correct.
