Multiply a cell array with a matrix in an equation

Hello, I have a cell array like below (let's call it C).
C:
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/679328/image.jpeg)
And a 4*4 matrix for example:
A=rand(4,4);
I want to multiply these arguments (multiply the first component of A (A(1,1)) to all the values in the first component of C(C{1})) in an equation such that:
eqn=A*C + (1-A)*C
How can I do this?
I tried for loop but didn't work. I also tried to just use element wise multiplication but didn't work either, I get the error below:
Operator '.*' is not supported for operands of type 'cell'.

Since you haven't shown us the code you tried, we cannot tell you why it didn't work.

Your code gives me no errors, but make sure you pre-allocate an empty cell array for eqn:
eqn=cell(4);
for i=1:4
for j=1:4
eqn{i,j}=A(i,j)*C{i,j}+(1-A(i,j))*C{i,j};
end
end
