To solve the problem of how many pieces of celery Andrea will have after cutting each stalk into thirds, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the total number of celery stalks Andrea has:
Andrea has 4 celery stalks.

2. Determine how many pieces each stalk will be cut into:
Each stalk will be cut into 3 pieces.

3. Choose the appropriate numbers and operation to find the total number of celery pieces:
We need to find the total number of pieces by multiplying the number of stalks by the number of pieces per stalk.

The operation we need is multiplication (×).

Following these steps, we get:

- Andrea has 4 stalks.
- Each stalk is cut into 3 pieces.
- The operation to use is multiplication (×).

So, the numbers and operation Andrea can use are:

- 4 (number of celery stalks),
- 3 (pieces per stalk),
- and the multiplication operation (×).

Thus, Andrea can calculate the total number of celery pieces by multiplying 4 by 3:

[tex]\[ 4 \times 3 = 12 \][/tex]

Therefore, the total number of celery pieces Andrea will have is 12.

The selected numbers and operation can be filled in the boxes as follows:
[tex]\[ 4 \times 3 = 12 \][/tex]
