Question

Henry and five friends are going to the movies. Tickets cost $8 each. Henry used this model to help him find the total cost of the tickets. Which shows one way to break apart the array to find the product?

Answer 1

Answer:

(7 x 5) + (7 X 3) = 7 X 8 or (7 x 4) + (7 X 4) = 7 X 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

• The total number of people: 7
• Ticker costs:  $8 each

=> the total cost = the total number of people * the ticket cost each

= 7 X 8

Hence, he can use this way to break apart the array to find the product:

(7 x 5) + (7 X 3) = 7 X 8 or (7 x 4) + (7 X 4) = 7 X 8

Hope it will find you well.
