Questions: 2 x 8 = 3 x 4 = 4 [red dots arranged in a 3x4 grid]

Transcript text: 2 x 8 = 3 x 4 = 4 [red dots arranged in a 3x4 grid]

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the given multiplication problems, we will use Python to perform the arithmetic operations. The first two questions involve simple multiplication, and the third question involves counting the total number of red dots in a 3x4 grid.

Solution Approach

Multiply 2 by 8 to get the result of the first question.
Multiply 3 by 4 to get the result of the second question.
Calculate the total number of red dots by multiplying the number of rows by the number of columns in the 3x4 grid.

Step 1: Calculate \(2 \times 8\)

The first question requires us to compute: \[ 2 \times 8 = 16 \]

Step 2: Calculate \(3 \times 4\)

The second question involves the multiplication: \[ 3 \times 4 = 12 \]

Step 3: Count the total number of red dots in a \(3 \times 4\) grid

For the third question, we find the total number of red dots by calculating: \[ \text{Total Dots} = 3 \times 4 = 12 \]
