To solve this problem, we need to count the total number of moon shapes shown in the grid.
Step 1: Understand the layout
The image shows a large rectangle divided into smaller sections by dotted lines.
- There are
5 rows going across (horizontal).
- There are
2 columns going down (vertical).
Step 2: Count the items in one row
Let's look at just the top row.
- On the left side, there are 2 moons.
- On the right side, there are 2 moons.
- So, one full row has $2 + 2 = 4$ moons.
Step 3: Calculate the total
Since every row looks exactly the same, we can multiply the number of moons in one row by the number of rows.
- Number of moons per row: 4
- Number of rows: 5
Calculation: $4 \times 5 = 20$
Alternative Check (Counting by Columns):
- Left column: 5 pairs of moons = $5 \times 2 = 10$ moons.
- Right column: 5 pairs of moons = $5 \times 2 = 10$ moons.
- Total: $10 + 10 = 20$ moons.
Both methods give the same result.
Final Answer:
20
