Multiplication
Problem #1: There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. How many minutes are there in 12 hours? Question How many minutes are there in 12 hours? Solution Once again, you can use addition to solve this problem, but you will waste your time since you have to do repeated addition of 60 twelve times. 60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60+60 = 720

Answer However, 60 12 = 720 gives you the same answer faster Reference http://www.basic-mathematics.com/multiplication-word-problems.html
