Question

learn with an example
use the area model to multiply $12(4 + 2f)$.
first, find the partial products.
4
$2f$
12
now, write the product.
$12(4 + 2f) = $
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate first partial product

$12 \times 4 = 48$

Step2: Calculate second partial product

$12 \times 2f = 24f$

Step3: Sum the partial products

$48 + 24f$

Answer:

Partial products: $48$ and $24f$
$12(4 + 2f) = 48 + 24f$
