Problem 1: Soccer Balls

We have:
- 2 rows
- 4 columns

So, there are 2 rows of 4 soccer balls each.

Row-wise:
Each row has 4 balls, and there are 2 rows →
→ $ 2 \times 4 $

Column-wise:
Each column has 2 balls, and there are 4 columns →
→ $ 4 \times 2 $

✔ Answer:
$ 2 \times 4 $ AND $ 4 \times 2 $

Problem 2: Yellow Jellies (or Puddings)

We have:
- 4 rows
- 7 columns

Each row has 7 jellies, and there are 4 rows.

Row-wise:
$ 4 \times 7 $

Column-wise:
Each column has 4 jellies, and there are 7 columns →
$ 7 \times 4 $

✔ Answer:
$ 4 \times 7 $ AND $ 7 \times 4 $

Problem 3: Sailboats

We have:
- 3 rows
- 5 columns

Each row has 5 boats, and there are 3 rows.

Row-wise:
$ 3 \times 5 $

Column-wise:
Each column has 3 boats, and there are 5 columns →
$ 5 \times 3 $

✔ Answer:
$ 3 \times 5 $ AND $ 5 \times 3 $

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. $ 2 \times 4 $ AND $ 4 \times 2 $
2. $ 4 \times 7 $ AND $ 7 \times 4 $
3. $ 3 \times 5 $ AND $ 5 \times 3 $

These expressions show that multiplication is commutative — the order doesn't change the total number of items.
