Let’s solve each multiplication problem step by step.
We are multiplying 5 by numbers from 1 to 12.
Remember: Multiplying by 5 is like adding 5 that many times.
Or, you can think of it as counting by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.
Let’s go one by one:
- 5 × 1 = 5 (just one 5)
- 5 × 2 = 10 (5 + 5)
- 5 × 3 = 15 (5 + 5 + 5)
- 5 × 4 = 20 (5 + 5 + 5 + 5)
- 5 × 5 = 25 (five 5s added together)
- 5 × 6 = 30 (add another 5 to 25 → 25 + 5 = 30)
- 5 × 7 = 35 (30 + 5 = 35)
- 5 × 8 = 40 (35 + 5 = 40)
- 5 × 9 = 45 (40 + 5 = 45)
- 5 × 10 = 50 (45 + 5 = 50)
- 5 × 11 = 55 (50 + 5 = 55)
- 5 × 12 = 60 (55 + 5 = 60)
Double-checking a few:
- 5 × 6: 5 groups of 6? No — wait, it’s 6 groups of 5 → 5+5+5+5+5+5 = 30 ✔️
- 5 × 12: 12 fives → 5×10=50, plus 5×2=10 → 50+10=60 ✔️
All answers look correct.
Final Answer:
5 × 1 = 5
5 × 2 = 10
5 × 3 = 15
5 × 4 = 20
5 × 5 = 25
5 × 6 = 30
5 × 7 = 35
5 × 8 = 40
5 × 9 = 45
5 × 10 = 50
5 × 11 = 55
5 × 12 = 60
