I am going to estimate how many square feet my house is. My bottom floor is about 40 feet long and 30 feet wide. 40 x 30 =1200
My second floor is a little bit bigger than the first floor. Its about 600 feet bigger than my first floor. That means that my second floor is about 1800 feet. 1200 +1800 = 3000 feet long. answer, 3300 feet

I love it!! Leave it to you, Gage, to do the BIG math!! I really appreciate how you used square footage as an extension of multiplying with an array. Thanks for the post!

That would take me about an hour to do. :}

The baby gate at the top of our stairs is arranged in an array. There are 13 columns and 1 row. The multiplication problem for this is 13x1=13.

Also, the shelves in my closet are arranged in an array. There are 6 compartments overall and there are 3 columns. How many rows are there? 6 divided by 3 = 2 rows. This is the division problem to solve this.

You got it, Aidan! The total number is 6. 6 broken into 3 rows = 2. Thank you for the two entries!

I estimated the distance from the garage door to the end of the garage. I estimated 45 feet (9 x 5 = 45). I measured the distance using my feet. It was 55 (11 x 5 = 55).

Wow - that's a tough array! Good job!
