Ryder Hodges · Answer 1

Find the number of columns and rows of the cupcake in a rectangle shape with 120 pieces.

=> The row must ne even and the column must be add

=> 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 15

=> 120 = 8 x 15

=> 120 = 120

Thus, the glee club will need to arrange the row of the rectangle shaped cupcake as 8 rows and the column as 15 columns.

That gets the total of 120 cupcakes in all.
