Can someone please help me with this question? I have tried to figure it out and I keep getting stumped. Use counters to model and find the product of 2(5). Thanks.
I already answered that for you.

Certainly! To find the product of 2(5) using counters, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with 2 counters.
2. Place 5 counters, one by one, next to each of the counters you started with. As a result, you will have a row of 5 counters next to the row of 2 counters.
3. Count the total number of counters you have. In this case, you will count a total of 10 counters.
4. Therefore, the product of 2(5) is equal to 10.
By using counters, you visually represent the multiplication process. Each counter represents a unit, and by arranging them in the specific pattern described above, you determine the number of units (counters) in the product. In this case, the product is equal to 10.
