Toby has two rectangles of cloth. The first is 4 inches wide and 5 inches tall. The second is 3 inches wide and 6 inches tall. How many more square inches is the area of the first compared to the second?
The first has an area of 20 square inches because (4 x 5) = <T>multiply(4, 5)=20
The second has an area of 18 square inches because (3 x 6) = <T>multiply(3, 6)=18
The difference in area is 20-18=<T>subtract(20, 18)=2 square inches.
