Step 2: Count the number of candies in each jar: 5
-
Step 3: Write the multiplication sentence:
\[
3 \times 5 = 15
\]
-
Answer: \( 3 \times 5 = 15 \)
---
Problem 2:
-
Image Description: There are 3 branches, and each branch has 4 owls.
-
Step 1: Count the number of branches (groups): 3
-
Step 2: Count the number of owls on each branch: 4
-
Step 3: Write the multiplication sentence:
\[
3 \times 4 = 12
\]
-
Answer: \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \)
---
Problem 3:
-
Image Description: There are 2 fish tanks, and each tank contains 6 fish.
-
Step 1: Count the number of fish tanks (groups): 2
-
Step 2: Count the number of fish in each tank: 6
-
Step 3: Write the multiplication sentence:
\[
2 \times 6 = 12
\]
-
Answer: \( 2 \times 6 = 12 \)
---
Problem 4:
-
Image Description: There are 4 apple trees, and each tree has 3 apples.
-
Step 1: Count the number of apple trees (groups): 4
-
Step 2: Count the number of apples on each tree: 3
-
Step 3: Write the multiplication sentence:
\[
4 \times 3 = 12
\]
-
Answer: \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \)
---
Problem 5:
-
Image Description: There are 3 birthday cakes, and each cake has 8 candles.
-
Step 1: Count the number of cakes (groups): 3
-
Step 2: Count the number of candles on each cake: 8
-
Step 3: Write the multiplication sentence:
\[
3 \times 8 = 24
\]
-
Answer: \( 3 \times 8 = 24 \)
---
Final Answers:
1. \( 3 \times 5 = 15 \)
2. \( 3 \times 4 = 12 \)
3. \( 2 \times 6 = 12 \)
4. \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \)
5. \( 3 \times 8 = 24 \)
\[
\boxed{3 \times 5 = 15, \, 3 \times 4 = 12, \, 2 \times 6 = 12, \, 4 \times 3 = 12, \, 3 \times 8 = 24}
\]
