Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking at groups of objects and adding them up — but notice, each group has the same number of items. That’s what “equal groups” means!
---
First example (already done):
There are 2 groups. Each group has 3 apples.
So we add: 3 + 3 = 6

Second problem:
There are 3 groups. Each group has 4 frogs.
So we add: 4 + 4 + 4
Let’s count:
4 + 4 = 8
8 + 4 = 12
✔ So the answer is
12

Third problem:
There are 4 groups. Each group has 2 cupcakes.
So we add: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
Let’s count:
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 2 = 6
6 + 2 = 8
✔ So the answer is
8

Fourth problem:
There are 3 groups. Each group has 5 turtles.
So we add: 5 + 5 + 5
Let’s count:
5 + 5 = 10
10 + 5 = 15
✔ So the answer is
15

Final Answer:
12
8
15
