What is the general rule for writing the related multiplication statement for any division?

\(\text{divisor} \times \text{dividend} = \text{quotient}\)

\(\text{quotient} \times \text{divisor} = \text{dividend}\)

\(\text{quotient} \times \text{dividend} = \text{divisor}\)

\(\text{dividend} \times \text{quotient} = \text{divisor}\)

Correct Answer

\(\text{quotient} \times \text{divisor} = \text{dividend}\)

Explanation

The general rule: \(\text{quotient} \times \text{divisor} = \text{dividend}\). This is the related multiplication statement for every division. For example, for \(12 \div 4 = 3\), the related multiplication is \(3 \times 4 = 12\).
