Sticker Collection
1-Step Multiplication • Array
Mateo arranged stickers into an album. He placed stickers into 6 equal rows with 8 stickers in each row, as shown in the array below.
6 rows of 8 stickers
Which equation can be used to find \(s\), the total number of stickers Mateo arranged in the album?
A \(6 + 8 = s\)
B \(6 \times 8 = s\)
C \(8 \div 6 = s\)
D \(6 \times s = 8\)
Solve for \(s\):
Answer: \(s =\) stickers

Step 2: Total Partitioned into Drank & Left (\(j\))
Drank: 14
Left: \(j\)
Which pair of equations can be used to find \(j\), the number of juice boxes Maya has left?
A \(5 + 6 = 11\) and \(11 - 14 = j\)
B \(5 \times 6 = 30\) and \(30 - 14 = j\)
C \(5 \times 14 = 70\) and \(70 - 6 = j\)
D \(30 \div 5 = 6\) and \(6 + 14 = j\)
Value of \(j\): juice boxes remaining
