Question

The above number line represent.

• A. 2 + 4
• B. 2 x 3
• C. 0 + 6
• D. 2 x 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 x 3

Whenever we multiply two numbers (x and y) we move on the number line towards right starting from zero jumping x times taking leaps of y or jumping y times taking leaps of x.
In the given figure, the number of jumps are 3 and each leap is of 2 units. So, 3 jumps of 2 units leap represents 2 x 3.
