Step by step

The question

Question: write with math signs: the product of 6 and a number.

1 Change words to math

2 Put it in order

6 × n is written 6n: the number goes in front, with no × sign.

So we get 6n.

3 Check

Let's check with a number.

Say the number is 10.

The product of 6 and 10 is 60.

And 6(10) is 60 too.

So 6n is right!

Let's look back.

First: change words to math.

Then: put it in order.

Last: check.
