MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES MP2, MP4, MP6 Unlock Unlock the the Problem Problem Students in Carlo’s art class painted 32 square tiles for a mosaic. They will arrange the tiles to make a rectangle. Can the rectangle have 32 tiles arranged into 3 equal rows, without gaps or overlaps?
One Way Draw a model.
Think: Try to arrange the tiles into 3 equal rows to make a rectangle.
▲ Mosaics are decorative
patterns made with pieces of glass or other materials.
A rectangle __ have 32 tiles arranged into 3 equal rows.
3qw 3 2 Think: Divide to see whether the unknown factor is a whole number.
The unknown factor in 3 × ■ = 32 __ a whole number.
So, a rectangle __ have 32 tiles arranged in 3 rows.
