Let's solve this step by step.
Task:
Count and match the boxes that have the same amount of transportation.
We need to count how many vehicles are in each box and then pair up the boxes that have the
same number of vehicles.
---
Step 1: Count the vehicles in each box
#### Left Column:
1.
Red cars
- There are 6 red cars (3 on top, 3 on bottom)
→
6
2.
Blue trucks
- 3 rows × 3 trucks = 9 trucks
→
9
3.
Sailboats
- 2 sailboats
→
2
4.
Bicycles
- 3 bicycles
→
3
#### Right Column:
5.
Yellow buses
- 2 buses
→
2
6.
Airplanes
- 3 airplanes
→
3
7.
Helicopters
- 3 rows × 2 helicopters = 6 helicopters
→
6
8.
Green motorcycles
- 3 rows × 3 motorcycles = 9 motorcycles
→
9

Step 2: Match boxes with the same number
Now let’s pair the boxes that have the same count:
-
6 vehicles:
- Red cars (left, top) → 6
- Helicopters (right, middle) → 6
→
Match these two
-
9 vehicles:
- Blue trucks (left, second) → 9
- Green motorcycles (right, bottom) → 9
→
Match these two
-
2 vehicles:
- Sailboats (left, third) → 2
- Buses (right, top) → 2
→
Match these two
-
3 vehicles:
- Bicycles (left, bottom) → 3
- Airplanes (right, second) → 3
→
Match these two

Final Answer:
Matches:
1.
Red cars (6) ↔
Helicopters (6)
2.
Blue trucks (9) ↔
Green motorcycles (9)
3.
Sailboats (2) ↔
Buses (2)
4.
Bicycles (3) ↔
Airplanes (3)

How to present it:
You would draw a line connecting:
- Top-left (cars) to middle-right (helicopters)
- Second-left (trucks) to bottom-right (motorcycles)
- Third-left (sailboats) to top-right (buses)
- Bottom-left (bicycles) to second-right (airplanes)
✔ This completes the matching task!
