Solve {l}{1*12}{2*8}{3*5}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 1 \cdot 12 } \\ { 2 \cdot 8 } \\ { 3 \cdot 5 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$12,15,16$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 12 to get 12.

$$sort(12,2\times 8,3\times 5)$$

Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.

$$sort(12,16,3\times 5)$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$sort(12,16,15)$$

To sort the list, start from a single element 12.

$$12$$

Insert 16 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$12,16$$

Insert 15 to the appropriate location in the new list.

$$12,15,16$$

Evaluate

$$12,\ 16,\ 15$$
