Use the table to answer the question. If 4 ants have 12 body parts, how many body parts do 6 ants have?

Explanation

Use the first row in the table to determine how many body parts 1 ant has. Since 1 ant has 3 body parts, you will need to multiply 6(ants) by 3(body parts).

6 ants have 18 body parts.

Another way to solve would be to add up the body parts of each of the six ants.
