Amirah Shaw · Answer 1

Yes, there is only way way to produce a product of 9 (3,3)

No, there is only one way to get a product of 16: (4,4)

Yes, there are two ways to get a product of 10 (2,5) and (5,2)

Yes, there are two ways to get a product of 12 (3,4) and (4,3)

If you think that the numbers switched are the same, think about it this way when making a product of 12:

Make one number pyramid red and the other blue. A red 3 and a blue 4 is different than a red 4 and a blue 3.
