Question

which multiplication equation matches the array?
3 × 4 = 10
4 × 4 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
3 × 3 = 12

Explanation:

Step1: Recall array multiplication logic

An array with $r$ rows and $c$ columns has total items $r \times c$.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• $3 \times 4 = 10$: $\frac{3 \times 4 = 12

eq 10}$ (incorrect)

• $4 \times 4 = 12$: $4 \times 4 = 16

eq 12$ (incorrect)

• $4 \times 3 = 12$: $4 \times 3 = 12$ (correct)
• $3 \times 3 = 12$: $3 \times 3 = 9

eq 12$ (incorrect)

Answer:

C. $4 \times 3 = 12$
