True · Nine times three is twenty-seven.
12 · Four times three is twelve.
20 · Four times five is twenty.
7 · Twenty-one split into groups of 3 makes 7 groups.
9 · Think: 4 x 9 = 36, so 36 divided by 4 = 9.
24 · Eight times three is twenty-four.
56 divided by 7 = 8 · 8 x 7 = 56 means 56 divided by 7 = 8, and also 56 divided by 8 = 7.
7 · Fifty-six split into groups of 8 makes 7 groups.
56 · Eight times seven is fifty-six.
He used 4 x 8 instead of 4 x 9 · 4 x 9 = 36. Ravi's answer of 32 is actually 4 x 8.
