Whats product and quotient?

Question

1. The product of 12 and a number = ?

2. The quotient of 56 and 7 = ?

Answer 1

Product is the result from multiplying. For question 1, the answer is dependent on what the value of "a number" is. The equation could be seen like this: 12xN=product. Where N represents "a number."

The quotient is the result of division. So question 2 represents 56/7 or 56 divided by 7. The answer is 8.

Answer 2

the product of 12 and a number =

12 X A (a substitute for a number since we don't know) = 12A or something that fits in the equation.

For example the answer could be 12, if A equaled one or the answer could be 36, if A was equal to 3, etc. You get it?

the quotient of 56 and 7=

56/7= 8

It just basically means what is 7 divided into 56.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

-A product is the answer you get for when you multiply.

Example: 12 x 5 = 60

The number 60 would be the product.

-A quotient is the answer you get from when you divide.

Example: 56 divided by 7 = 8

The number 8 would be the quotient.

Answer 4

1. 12x

>> the number could be anything and since you don't know the answer or number you represent it with a  variable that could be any letter.

2.  8

>> 7 goes into 56 8 times evenly. 7 times 8 is 56
