Question

The value of $4\times 6\times 2$ is .

• A. $24$
• B. $48$
• C. $12$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $48$

To calculate $4\times 6\times 2$, we would first multiply $4$ and $6$, and then multiply their product value with $2$.

Hence,
$4\times 6\times 2$
$=(4\times 6)\times 2$
$=\left(24\right)\times 2$
$=(20+4)\times 2$

Now, we use box method to multiply $(20+4)\times 2$.

	$2$
$20$	$20\times 2$ $=10\times 2\times 2$ $=10\times 4$ $=40$
$4$	$4\times 2$ $=8$

$\therefore (20+4)\times 2=40+8=48$

Hence, the value of $4\times 6\times 2$ is $48$.
