Which shows a correct method for finding 6 x 12?(1 point)

Question

Responses

6 x 10 + 6 x 2
6 x 10 + 6 x 2

3 x 3 + 2 x 4
3 x 3 + 2 x 4

3 x 10 + 3 x 2
3 x 10 + 3 x 2

6 x 3 + 6 x 4

Answer 1

The correct method for finding \( 6 \times 12 \) from the provided options is:

6 x 10 + 6 x 2

This method uses the distributive property of multiplication, breaking down \( 12 \) into \( 10 + 2 \). Therefore:

\[ 6 \times 12 = 6 \times (10 + 2) = 6 \times 10 + 6 \times 2 \]

The other options do not correctly apply the distributive property to find \( 6 \times 12 \).
