Question

If we calculate 4 x 3 on a number line, the result will be _____ .

• A.
  1
• B.
  4
• C.
  12
• D.
  8

Answer 1

The correct option is C

12

Multiplication is repeated addition. To calculate 4 x 3, we have to add 3 four times i.e. we have to jump forward 4 times with each jump covering 3 units.
After four jumps we will reach 12
$\therefore$ 4 x 3 = 12
