Solve the Multiplication Equation: 12 × ? = 24

Question

Fill in the missing number:

$12\cdot?=24$

00:04 Let's start by finding the unknown.

00:09 Remember, positive, times positive, always equals positive.

00:15 So, the unknown must be positive.

00:19 Let's calculate the unknown value step by step.

00:26 And, that is how we solve this problem!

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:

$+12\times+2=24$

$2$
