How to Multiply by “12”

  "You Can Multiply By Twelve" lyrics

If you can multiply by two (we do!)
And multiply by ten (we can!)
Then you can multiply by twelve right now
I'll show you how to begin

Just take the answer from two
And add it to the answer from ten
When you multiply by twelve

If you can multiply by two (we do!)
And multiply by ten (we can!)
Then you can multiply by twelve right now
I'll show you how to begin

Just take the answer from two
And add it to the answer from ten
When you multiply by twelve

So if you want to multiply 8 times 12,
Here's how to do it:

First, multiply 8 times 2
(That will give you 16)

And then multiply 8 times 10
(8 x 10 = 80)

To get your answer, just add the 16 and the 80
And you'll get 96

(So 8 x 12 = 96?)

Every time! (I approve)

If you multiply by 2 and 10
You can add the answers and in the end
You'll have multiplied by 12
You should be proud of yourself

Just take your answer from 2
And add it to your answer from 10
When you multiply by 12
