Let’s solve each multiplication problem step by step. We’re multiplying numbers from 1 to 12 by 3.
Remember: Multiplying by 3 means adding the number to itself three times.
For example:
2 × 3 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
Or you can think of it as “three groups of that number.”
Let’s go one by one:
1 × 3 = 3
(One group of three is just 3)
2 × 3 = 6
(Two groups of three: 3 + 3 = 6)
3 × 3 = 9
(Three groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9)
4 × 3 = 12
(Four groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12)
5 × 3 = 15
(Five groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15)
6 × 3 = 18
(Six groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18)
7 × 3 = 21
(Seven groups of three: 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21)
8 × 3 = 24
(Eight groups of three: 3 added eight times = 24)
9 × 3 = 27
(Nine groups of three: 3 × 9 = 27)
10 × 3 = 30
(Ten groups of three: 3 × 10 = 30 — easy! Just add a zero to 3)
11 × 3 = 33
(Eleven groups of three: 3 × 11 = 33 — think 30 + 3)
12 × 3 = 36
(Twelve groups of three: 3 × 12 = 36 — think 30 + 6)
All calculations checked and correct.
Final Answer:
1 × 3 = 3
2 × 3 = 6
3 × 3 = 9
4 × 3 = 12
5 × 3 = 15
6 × 3 = 18
7 × 3 = 21
8 × 3 = 24
9 × 3 = 27
10 × 3 = 30
11 × 3 = 33
12 × 3 = 36
