Solve the Multiplication Equation: 12 × ? = 24

Question

Fill in the missing number:

$12\cdot?=24$

00:00 Find the unknown

00:05 Positive times positive always equals positive

00:10 Therefore the unknown is positive

00:15 Now let's find the unknown

00:22 And this is the solution to the question

Let's remember the law:

$(+x)\times(+x)=+x$

Let's think about which number we need to multiply by 12 to get 24:

$2\times2=4$

Now let's put the numbers together with the appropriate sign as written in the law above as follows:

$+12\times+2=24$

$2$
