Let’s solve each multiplication problem step by step. We’re multiplying numbers by 3 — that means we’re adding the number to itself 3 times, or using our times table for 3.
We’ll go left column first, then right column.
Left Column:
- 3 × 0 = 0 → Anything times 0 is 0.
- 3 × 1 = 3 → 3 added once.
- 3 × 2 = 6 → 3 + 3 = 6
- 3 × 3 = 9 → 3 + 3 + 3 = 9
- 3 × 4 = 12 → 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12
- 3 × 5 = 15 → 3 × 5 = 15 (remember: 5 threes)
- 3 × 6 = 18 → 6 threes: 3+3+3+3+3+3=18
- 3 × 7 = 21 → 7 threes = 21
- 3 × 8 = 24 → 8 threes = 24
- 3 × 9 = 27 → 9 threes = 27
Right Column:
Note: Multiplication is commutative — so 10 × 3 is same as 3 × 10, etc.
- 3 × 10 = 30 → 10 threes = 30
- 3 × 11 = 33 → 11 threes = 33
- 3 × 12 = 36 → 12 threes = 36
- 10 × 3 = 30 → Same as above
- 9 × 3 = 27 → Same as 3 × 9
- 8 × 3 = 24 → Same as 3 × 8
- 7 × 3 = 21 → Same as 3 × 7
- 6 × 3 = 18 → Same as 3 × 6
- 5 × 3 = 15 → Same as 3 × 5
- 4 × 3 = 12 → Same as 3 × 4
