Nina says the equation 600 = 12X50 means 600 is 12 times as many as 50. Julio says the equation means 600 is 50 times as many as 12. Who is correct? explain

they are both correct I think because 600is what 12 ×as many as 50 or 12 ×50=600 And Julio is correct also because 50×12=600 is a related equation but since it is written as 600= 12×50 i think Nina is correct in wording it that way since that is how it's written even though both come up with the same answer.
