Question

Find the product of two numbers before multiplying by the next number: (25 × 3 × 2)

a. 150
b. 125
c. 50
d. 75

Answer 1

First, multiply 25 by 3 to get 75. Then, multiply this result by 2 to get 150. The final product is 150, option (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product of two numbers before multiplying by the next number (25 × 3 × 2), you first multiply the first two numbers and then multiply the result by the third number. So, we start by multiplying 25 by 3:

• 25 × 3 = 75

Next, we take the result (75) and multiply it by 2:

• 75 × 2 = 150

Therefore, the product of 25, 3, and 2 in this order is 150, which corresponds to option (a).
