If you multiply 2 and 3, what is the result?

  1. 5

  2. 6

  3. 7

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 6

Multiplying 2 and 3 together yields 6, which is the result of this operation. This is foundational arithmetic where multiplication represents the total number of items one would have if you take a group of one number (in this case, 2) that many times (3 times). Therefore, when you add 2 three times (2 + 2 + 2), you arrive at the same total, confirming that the correct answer is indeed 6. Understanding this basic multiplication helps build a foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
