Q60. hard

Which overall statement about multiplication is CORRECT?

  1. A Multiplication is repeated addition of equal groups; the order of the numbers does not change the answer, times 1 keeps the number, and times 0 gives 0
  2. B Multiplication always makes a smaller number
  3. C The order of numbers changes the product
  4. D Any number times 0 is that number

Answer: A — Multiplication is repeated addition of equal groups; the order of the numbers does not change the answer, times 1 keeps the number, and times 0 gives 0

This sums up the topic: multiplication adds equal groups (3 × 4 = 4 + 4 + 4); it is commutative (3 × 4 = 4 × 3); multiplying by 1 leaves the number unchanged; and multiplying by 0 always gives 0.
