They are both correct I think because 600is what 12 * as many as 50 or 12 * 50=600 And Julio is correct also because 50*12=600 is a related equation but since it is written as 600 = 12*50 i think Nina is correct in wording it that way since that is how it's written even though both come up with the same answer.
