Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are multiplying two numbers, 12 and 5.
2. The multiplication of two numbers is done by multiplying each digit of the first number by the second number and then adding the results.

STEP 2

Multiply the ones digit of the first number by the second number.
2×5=102 \times 5 = 10

STEP 3

Write down the 0 and carry over the 1 to the next higher place value.
0(carry over 1)0 \quad (\text{carry over } 1)

STEP 4

Multiply the tens digit of the first number by the second number.
1×5=51 \times 5 = 5

STEP 5

Add the carried over value to the result of the multiplication from STEP_4.
5+1=65 + 1 = 6

STEP 6

Write down the result of STEP_5 next to the 0 from STEP_3 to get the final product.
6060

STEP 7

Combine the results from STEP_3 and STEP_6 to get the final answer.
12×5=6012 \times 5 = 60
The simplified expression is 60.
