I'll solve this problem by examining each box, counting the objects, writing an equation to match the array, and then writing the total.
Let me start with box 1:
Box 1:
- I see 3 rows of 4 cats each.
- Equation: 3 × 4 = 12
- Total: 12
Box 2:
- I see 4 rows of 5 cats each.
- Equation: 4 × 5 = 20
- Total: 20
Box 3:
- I see 3 rows of 6 cats each.
- Equation: 3 × 6 = 18
- Total: 18
Box 4:
- I see 2 rows of 4 cats each.
- Equation: 2 × 4 = 8
- Total: 8
Box 5:
- I see 2 rows of 3 cats each.
- Equation: 2 × 3 = 6
- Total: 6
Box 6:
- I see 4 rows of 5 cats each.
- Equation: 4 × 5 = 20
- Total: 20
Box 7:
- I see 5 rows of 6 cats each.
- Equation: 5 × 6 = 30
- Total: 30
Box 8:
- I see 2 cats (not arranged in a clear array).
- Since it's not an array, we can consider it as 1 row of 2 cats.
- Equation: 1 × 2 = 2
- Total: 2
Box 9:
- I see 6 rows of 6 cats each.
- Equation: 6 × 6 = 36
- Total: 36
Box 10:
- I see 4 rows of 5 cats each.
- Equation: 4 × 5 = 20
- Total: 20
Box 11:
- I see 3 rows of 6 cats each.
- Equation: 3 × 6 = 18
- Total: 18
Box 12:
- I see 5 rows of 6 cats each.
- Equation: 5 × 6 = 30
- Total: 30
Now I'll provide the complete solution for all boxes.
