Question

How did get 180 by solving 15 multiply by 12???

Answer 1

One way we can check this is to simply multiply 15 by 12 to get 180.

• 15 × 12 = 180

Or you could even switch the numbers around.

• 12 × 15 = 180

But if we wanted to check it further, we can take the total and divide that by one of the multiplican or multipliers (15 or 12) to get the correct product.

• 180 ÷ 15 = 12

• 180 ÷ 12 = 15

Therefore, these are some ways to use the numbers 180, 15 and 12 in expressions.
