Question

ian finds the area of the rectangle shown by adding 4+4+4+4+4+4.ray finds the area of the rectangle shown by multiplying $6 \times 4$.which statement is true?a. only ians method is correct.b. only rays method is correct.c. both ians and rays methods are correct.d. neither ians nor rays method is correct.#2 - 183340which expression is equal to $6 \times 3$, and why?a. $6+3$, because the numbers are in the same orderb. $6 \div 3$, because division and multiplication are inverse operationsc. $3+6$, because the order of the numbers does not matter in additiond. $3 \times 6$, because the order of the numbers does not matter in multiplication

Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate Ian's method

$4+4+4+4+4+4 = 24$

Step2: Evaluate Ray's method

$6 \times 4 = 24$

Step3: Match to first question options

Both calculations equal the rectangle's area.

Step4: Evaluate second question options

$6 \times 3 = 18$, $3 \times 6 = 18$; multiplication is commutative.

Answer:

1. C. Both Ian’s and Ray’s methods are correct.
2. D. 3×6, because the order of the numbers does not matter in multiplication
