to multiply a number by 12, Carter likes to multiply the number by 10 and then multiply it by 2 and add the product. Write an expression with parenthesis how carter would solve 12*16

Since carter multiplies by 10 and then by 2 and adds the two, here we have been given 16 * 12

Step 1: Carter would first multiply the number by 10. This would be = 16*10

Step 2: Carter would multiply the number by 2. This would be = 16*2

Step 3: He would add the two. This would be = (16*10) + (16*2)

Carter's solution would be:

=16*12

= (16*10) + (16*2)

= 160 + 32

= 192
