Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 470 and we're going to multiply it by 12, which means adding 470 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 470 = 470
Step 2: 470 + 470 = 940
Step 3: 940 + 470 = 1410
Step 4: 1410 + 470 = 1880
Step 5: 1880 + 470 = 2350
Step 6: 2350 + 470 = 2820
Step 7: 2820 + 470 = 3290
Step 8: 3290 + 470 = 3760
Step 9: 3760 + 470 = 4230
Step 10: 4230 + 470 = 4700
Step 11: 4700 + 470 = 5170
Step 12: 5170 + 470 = 5640

So, 470*12 = 5640
