Answer 2

Answer:

$58\times 12=696$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to multiply 58 and 12.

This could be done by distributive property of multiplication over addition which is:

$a\times b\\=a\times (c+d)\\=(a\times c) + (a\times d)$

Evaluation of $58\times 12$

$58\times 12\\=58\times (10 + 2)\\=(58\times 10) + (58\times 2)\\=580 + 116\\=696$

Distributive property makes us easy to calculate complicated product by dividing the number into smaller parts.
