Understanding the Task

We are given several arrays (groups of objects arranged in rows and columns). For each array, we need to:
- Count the number of rows.
- Count the number of columns.
- Write a multiplication sentence:
`Rows × Columns = Total`

Step-by-step Solutions

#### 1. Pizza Slices
- There are 3 rows and 3 columns.
- So:
3 × 3 = 9

#### 2. Soda Cans
- There are 4 rows and 5 columns.
- So:
4 × 5 = 20

#### 3. Tennis Balls
- There are 4 rows and 4 columns.
- So:
4 × 4 = 16

#### 4. Police Cars
- There are 4 rows and 3 columns.
- So:
4 × 3 = 12

#### 5. Seashells
- There are 5 rows and 4 columns.
- So:
5 × 4 = 20

#### 6. Pencils in Cups
- There are 2 rows and 4 columns.
- So:
2 × 4 = 8

#### 7. Snakes
- There are 1 row and 4 columns.
- So:
1 × 4 = 4

#### 8. Frogs
- There are 3 rows and 1 column.
- So:
3 × 1 = 3

#### 9. Cameras
- There are 2 rows and 5 columns.
- So:
2 × 5 = 10

📝 Explanation:

Each array shows equal groups arranged in rows and columns. Multiplication helps us find the total quickly instead of counting one by one. For example, if there are 4 rows of 5 soda cans, that’s 4 groups of 5, which is 4 × 5 = 20.

This reinforces the concept of multiplication as repeated addition:
e.g., 4 × 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
