Question

$12\cdot9\cdot5=\text{?}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's arrange the equation so it will be easy for us to solve

00:08 Let's solve each multiplication separately and then continue

00:13 And this is the solution to the question

According to the rules of the order of operations, since the exercise only involves multiplication, the order of the numbers can be changed.

We organize the exercise in such a way that we get a round number as a result of multiplying the first two numbers:

$12\times5\times9=$

We solve the exercise from left to right:

$12\times5=60$

$60\times9=540$
