Answer 2

`58* 12=696`

Explanation:

We have to multiply 58 and 12.

This could be done by distributive property of multiplication over addition which is:

`a* b\\=a* (c+d)\\=(a* c) + (a* d)`

Evaluation of
`58* 12`

`58* 12\\=58* (10 + 2)\\=(58* 10) + (58* 2)\\=580 + 116\\=696`

Distributive property makes us easy to calculate complicated product by dividing the number into smaller parts.
