Question

A holiday cocoa station is prepared. There are 2 rows of tables. Each row has 2 tables. Each table has 2 trays. Each tray holds 2 mugs. Which expressions represent this word proble

Answer 1

Count stepwise:
- Tables: 2 rows × 2 tables/row = 4 tables.
- Trays: 4 tables × 2 trays/table = 8 trays.
- Mugs: 8 trays × 2 mugs/tray = 16 mugs.

Equivalent expressions that represent the problem:
- 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
- (2 × 2) × (2 × 2)
- 2^4
- 4 × 4
- 8 × 2 (or 2 × 8)

All equal 16 mugs.
