Answer:

The answer is zero

Explanation:

To solve this question, you will have to understand the question and be able to interpret it...

It was said that an unknown number is multiplied by 58..

So let the unknown number be x which means 58×x

And it gives zero...58×x=0

Further calculation

58x=0

Let's divide both sides by 58

X=0

Therefore the unknown number is zero... because any number multiplied by zero will definitely give us zero

When multiplying numbers the only way to have the answer be zero is one of the numbers being multiplied has to be zero.

The answer would be B. Zero
