Lesson 7
Using Diagrams to Represent Multiplication
Problem 1
Here is a rectangle that has been partitioned into four smaller rectangles.
![Rectangle divided into 4 smaller rectangles labeled A, B, C, D. Length across top is 3.4 and width is 2.6.](https://cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/rsdrBadPomWR6LLzpg2gKCUn?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%226-6.5.PP.Image.36.1.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%276-6.5.PP.Image.36.1.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF3XOEFOW4%2F20240630%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240630T153122Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=882873bbdec6abdcce76cff5bf0a841b998fcae78c705662844322bc8eb19183)
For each expression, choose the sub-rectangle whose area, in square units, matches the expression.
- \(3 \boldcdot (0.6)\)
- \((0.4) \boldcdot 2\)
- \((0.4) \boldcdot (0.6)\)
- \(3 \boldcdot 2\)

(From Unit 5, Lesson 3.)Problem 6
Diego bought 12 mini muffins for $4.20.
- At this rate, how much would Diego pay for 4 mini muffins?
- How many mini muffins could Diego buy with $3.00? Explain or show your reasoning. If you get stuck, consider using the table.
number of mini muffins |
price in dollars |
---|---|
12 | 4.20 |
