Answer:

0

Explanation:

Hey there!

The product of any number and 0 is zero

To explain why this is, just think of it visually

So lets say we are visually explaining 7 x 3

Here is a visual explanation

There are 7 strawberries

You take 7 more strawberries

You take 7 more strawberries again

This means that you are taking 7 strawberries 3 times thereby forming the equation, 7 x 3

Now lets say a numeber
x times zero is equal to what

Well we can visualize this again

There are
x strawberries in a group

You are taking zero of those groups

Meaning there are no groups

So if there are no groups

There are no strawberries

Meaning
x times zero is zero

Since
x is any number, the statement, the product of 0 and any number is 0 is true

This is why the product of 0 and any number is 0
