Some syrup spilled on a
checkerboard style table. The
syrup covered some of the tiles.
There were 36 squares on the
table. How many of the squares had syrup on them?

To find out how many squares on the checkerboard table had syrup on them, you need to know the number of tiles covered by the syrup.
Since the table is checkerboard style, we can determine the total number of tiles by multiplying the number of rows by the number of columns.
In this case, we know that there are 36 squares on the table, so we need to find a multiplication that equals 36.
Let's start by finding all the possible pairs of integers that multiply to 36:
1 x 36 = 36
2 x 18 = 36
3 x 12 = 36
4 x 9 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
From the above pairs, we can see that 6 x 6 equals 36 and this indicates that the checkerboard table has 6 rows and 6 columns.
Now, since you mentioned that the syrup covered some of the tiles, we need to know how many tiles were covered. But this information is missing from your question. If you provide the number of covered tiles, I can help you determine how many squares had syrup on them.
