Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in 12 Times Tables
While learning the table of 12, it is possible to commit mistakes. You can avoid making these mistakes by being more careful in the area mentioned below.
Mistake 1
Believing multiplication is repeated addition
Mistake 2
Numbers of the product get interchanged between themselves; for example, 12 x 7 = 84, and sometimes carelessness might lead you to write it as 85.
This can be avoided by being more careful and attentive and having a good idea about the pattern of the table of 12.
Mistake 3
Not understanding the pattern of Table 12 is another common issue that leads to mistakes.
This can be avoided by remembering that the digits in one’s place are always 2, 4, 6, 8, and 0.
Mistake 4
Solely relying on memorization
Do not solely rely on multiplication, one may face trouble while trying to recall the numbers after the multiples of 10. Avoid this by understanding the logic behind the multiplication. It can also be treated as repeated addition if that is more convenient.
Mistake 5
While solving multiplication of larger digits, the chances of making mistakes are higher.
To avoid these, breaking down the problem into smaller parts is an effective way of solving it.
12 Times Table Examples
Problem 1
The price of a product increased from 12×10 to 12×12. What is the percentage increase?
Original price = 12×10 = 120
New price = 12×12 = 144
The increase in price → 144-120 = 24
Percentage increase → 24/120 × 100 = 20%
Explanation
The above is how we ascertain the percentage increase in the price of the product.
Problem 2
Calculate — (12×9)+(12×7)-(12×5)
Calculate the product first;
12×9= 108
12×7= 84
12×5= 60
Substitute the above into the expression;
108+84-60 = 192-60 = 132
Explanation
The above is a simpler way to calculate the expression given above. Be mindful while calculating.
Problem 3
12x +36 = 132. Find x.
12x +36 = 132
Subtract 36 from both sides:
12x = 132-36 = 96
We now divide both the sides by 12:
x= 96/12 = 8
x= 8
Explanation
We find the value of by following the above process. Be mindful while calculating.
