You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is a 3 x 2 matrix multiplied by a 2 x 1 matrix, so the product will be a 3x1 matrix and the element at 1,1 is the product of the sixth grade class (2 parts), multiplied by the breakfast and lunch. This will be A above.
The others are true, but the element of the product (1,1) is A.
