Diagram Operation and solution

1 answer

The diagram would show 12 tables, each with 6 chairs.

The repeated addition representation would be: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6.

To find the result of the addition, we can multiply the number of tables by the number of chairs per table: 12 x 6.

The solution is 72.
