Question

What is the total number of counters in the given array?

• A. $2$ times $7=14$
• B. $2$ times $8=16$
• C. $2$ times $6=12$
• D. $2$ times $5=10$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2$ times $7=14$

• The given array has 2 rows.
• There are 7 columns, which means there are 7 counters in each row.
• We know that the total number of objects in an array is equal to the number of rows times the number of objects in each row (number of columns).
• Therefore, the correct total number of counters in the given array is equal to 2 (number of rows) times 7 (number of objects in each row) which is equal to 14.
• Therefore, the total number of counters = 2 times 7 = 14
• Hence, option B is correct.
