Multiplying two numbers has two pronunciations: "multiply" and "multiply". Read "multiply" before the multiplicand and "multiply" before the multiplier. For example, "5×4" is pronounced as "5 times 4" or "4 times 5".
"4 times 5" means four five additions, while "5 times 4" still means four five additions. Where "Yong" means "Yong" or "Yong", and "5 times 4" can be interpreted as multiplying 4 by 5.
However, the new textbook no longer emphasizes "multiplication" and "multiplication", and all of them are read as "multiplication". Both answers are correct.

Writing and reading multiplication formula
Method of rewriting (1) continuous addition formula into multiplication formula
Find the sum of several identical addends, which can be calculated by multiplication. When writing multiplication formula, you can use multiplication operation. When writing a multiplication formula, you can write the same addend first, then the multiplication symbol, then the number of the same addend, and finally the equal sign and the addition.
You can also write the number of the same addend first, then write the multiplication symbol, then write the same addend, and finally write the sum of equal sign and continuous addition. For example: 4+4+4= 12, rewritten as multiplication formula: 4×3= 12 or 3×4= 12.
(2) How to read multiplication formula
When reading multiplication formulas, read them in the formula order. For example, 6×3= 18 is read as "6 times 3 equals 18".
