Question

Susan makes 12 rows of 5 stickers. Kim wants to put the same number of stickers into 5 rows. How many stickers should she put in each row?

Answer 1

Let us find the number of stickers.
$\bullet$ Number of stickers $=\text{Number of rows}\times \text{Stickers in each row}$ $=12\times 5$
Using the commutative property.
$\bullet$ Number of stickers $=5\times 12$



Kim puts the same number of stickers into 5 rows.
$\bullet$ Number of stickers $=\text{Number of rows}\times \text{Stickers in each row}$
$\bullet$ Number of stickers $=5\times \text{stickers in each row}$
$\bullet$ Number of stickers are the same for both Kim and Susan.

Comparing the number of stickers,
$\bullet$ Stickers in each row $=12$

Hence, option D is correct.
