Question

❗️‼️❗️HELP❗️‼️❗️ Harry had a pile of 48 pennies. He organized them into a rectangular array with exactly four rows with 12 pennies in each row.

Draw diagrams to represent at least two other rectangular arrays he could use. Do you think there are more? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

One array you could make is 2 rows of pennies with 24 pennies in each row. Another array you could make is 3 rows of pennies with 16 pennies in each row.

Yet another array you could make is 6 rows of pennies with 8 pennies in each row.

You could also switch all of these arrays around. For example:

- 24 rows with 2 pennies in each row

- 12 rows with 4 pennies in each row

- 8 rows with 6 pennies in each row

- 16 rows with 3 pennies in each row
