Let's solve this step-by-step.
Step 1: Solve Each Multiplication Problem
We need to calculate the result of each multiplication problem in the flower and around it:
-
Center (9 × 6) = 54
-
Top petal (12 × 4) = 48
-
Right petal (11 × 6) = 66
-
Bottom right petal (4 × 7) = 28
-
Bottom left petal (9 × 9) = 81
-
Left petal (10 × 8) = 80
-
Top left (3 × 6) = 18
-
Top right (2 × 7) = 14
-
Right side (6 × 8) = 48
-
Bottom right (10 × 5) = 50
-
Bottom left (6 × 4) = 24
-
Left side (5 × 9) = 45
-
Leaf bottom left (4 × 2) = 8
-
Leaf bottom right (8 × 1) = 8
-
Leaf bottom (9 × 2) = 18
-
Leaf bottom right (12 × 2) = 24
Now, let’s list all answers:
- 54, 48, 66, 28, 81, 80, 18, 14, 48, 50, 24, 45, 8, 8, 18, 24

Step 2: Use the Color Key
Now match each answer to the correct color based on the key:
Color Key:
-
YELLOW: 54, 24, 81
-
PINK: 48, 18
-
RED: 80, 14
-
GREEN: 8, 45
-
PURPLE: 66, 50
-
ORANGE: 28
Now assign colors to each part:
#### Center: 9 × 6 = 54 →
YELLOW
#### Petals:
- 12 × 4 = 48 →
PINK
- 11 × 6 = 66 →

#### Around the Flower:
- 2 × 7 = 14 →
RED
- 6 × 8 = 48 →
PINK
- 10 × 5 = 50 →
PURPLE
- 6 × 4 = 24 →
YELLOW
- 5 × 9 = 45 →
GREEN
- 9 × 2 = 18 →
PINK
- 4 × 2 = 8 →
GREEN
- 8 × 1 = 8 →
GREEN
- 12 × 2 = 24 →
