1. which equation can be used to find the number of squares in the rows and columns of the rectangle?

image of a 3 - row, 7 - column grid of squares
a ( 3 + 7 = 10 )
b ( 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18 )
c ( 7 + 7 + 7 = 21 )
d ( 3 + 3 + 3 + 7 + 7 = 23 )

Explanation:

Question 23

Step1: Find Mayumi's height

Ben is 47 inches tall, and Mayumi is 3 inches taller than Ben. So Mayumi's height is $47 + 3 = 50$ inches.

Step2: Find Scott's height

Scott is 4 inches shorter than Mayumi. So Scott's height is $50 - 4 = 46$ inches.

Looking at the rectangle, we can see that there are 3 rows and 7 columns of squares. To find the total number of squares, we can add the number of squares in each row. Since each row has 7 squares and there are 3 rows, we add 7 three times: $7 + 7 + 7 = 21$.

Answer:

B. 46 inches
