Question

What does the following figure represent ?

• A.
  1.2 x 4 = 4.8
• B.
  2.4 + 2.4
• C.
  4.8 + 0 = 4.8
• D.
  1.2 + 2.4 +3.6 = 4.8

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1.2 x 4 = 4.8
When multiplying two numbers on a number line, we do repeated addition.
i.e. for 1.2 x 4
we either start with 0 and take 4 jumps of size 1.2 or take 1.2 jumps of size 4.
