Answer:

108

Explanation:

Using the distributive property to solve 12 × 9:

  1. Multiply 9 × 10
  2. Multiply 9 × 2
  3. Add the products

1. Multiply 9 × 10:

Multiplying with 10 is easy. Just add a zero to the end of the number it's being multiplied by!

9 × 10 = 90

2. Multiply 9 × 2:

Multiplying by 2 is the same as adding the other number to itself.

9 × 2 = 9 + 9

9 + 9 = 18

3. Add the products:

90 + 18 = 108

Footnote: Writing the equation another way to show the distributive property would look like this:

12 × 9 = 9(10 + 2)
