#3*4=12#

Explanation:

Whenever you see "Product", think "Multiplication". Actually, there's a chart for this stuff.

  • Sum: Addition

  • Difference: Subtraction

  • Product: Multiplication

  • Quotient: Division.

Since it's the product of 3 and 4, it's the multiplication of 3 and 4.
Similarly, if you had to find the "Difference of 3 and 1", it would be the "Subtraction of 3 and 1", or #3-1=2#.
