Multiply two-digit numbers 1
The rectangle is made of unit squares. Write one multiplication expression for the wide part and one for the narrow part. Why do both expressions start with the same number?
Figure for problem 559068

Hints

- Count the rows in the rectangle. - Count the columns in each part separately. - Think of each part as rows of equal groups.

Solution

1. Each part has \(10\) rows. 2. The wide part has \(10\) columns, giving \(10\times10\). The narrow part has \(2\) columns, giving \(10\times2\). 3. Both expressions start with \(10\) because the two parts have the same number of rows.

Answer

Wide part: \(10\times10\). Narrow part: \(10\times2\). Both parts have \(10\) rows.
Multiply two-digit numbers 2
Mara says the array has \(99\) squares. Is that correct? How many squares are there altogether? Write a multiplication equation and explain one way Mara might have counted \(99\).
Figure for problem 559141

Hints

- How could equal rows help you count without pointing at every square? - What is the same in each row of the rectangle? - Compare the number of rows in your multiplication with Mara's claim.

Solution

1. The array has \(10\) rows with \(11\) squares in each row. 2. The total is \(10\times11=110\) squares, which is \(11\) more than Mara's count. 3. Since \(9\times11=99\), Mara might have counted only \(9\) rows and missed one row's worth of squares.

Answer

No. There are \(110\) squares: \(10\times11=110\). Mara might have counted only \(9\) rows, since \(9\times11=99\).

Hints

- Multiply the number sold by the price of each car. - Break \(24\) into tens and ones. - Add the partial products with their place values aligned.

Solution

1. June: \(35 \times \$24\). Use partial products: \(35 \times \$20=\$700\) and \(35 \times \$4=\$140\). The June revenue is \(\$840\). 2. July: \(53 \times \$24\). Use partial products: \(53 \times \$20=\$1060\) and \(53 \times \$4=\$212\). The July revenue is \(\$1272\).

Answer

The June revenue is \(\$840\), and the July revenue is \(\$1272\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 7
A school library orders \(16\) nonfiction books at \(\$18\) each. Break \(16\) into \(10+6\). Give the partial product for \(10\times18\), the partial product for \(6\times18\), and then the total cost.

Hints

- Use the required decomposition \(16=10+6\). - Find the cost for each part of the decomposition separately. - Add the two partial products to get the total.

Solution

1. \(10\times18=180\), so ten books cost \(\$180\). 2. \(6\times18=108\), so six books cost \(\$108\). 3. Add the partial products: \(180+108=288\). 4. The total cost is \(\$288\).

Answer

\(10\times18=180\) \(6\times18=108\) Total: \(\$288\)

Hints

- Split one factor into tens and ones. - Multiply the other factor by each part. - Add the partial products.

Solution

1. For a), \(12 \times (10 + 3) = 120 + 36 = 156\). 2. For b), \(16 \times (10 + 2) = 160 + 32 = 192\). 3. For c), \(14 \times (10 + 5) = 140 + 70 = 210\).

Answer

a) \(12 \times (10 + 3) = 120 + 36 = 156\) b) \(16 \times (10 + 2) = 160 + 32 = 192\) c) \(14 \times (10 + 5) = 140 + 70 = 210\)
Multiply two-digit numbers 10
Read the written multiplication. a) What product is shown? b) Why does the second partial-product row represent \(230\), even though the row is based on \(23\times1\)?
Figure for problem 554485

Hints

- Read the multiplier by place value, not just as separate digits. - The first row comes from the ones digit; the second comes from the tens digit. - Notice how the written layout shifts the tens partial product one place left.

Solution

1. The calculation is \(23\times14\). 2. The ones partial product is \(23\times4=92\). 3. The tens digit \(1\) in \(14\) represents \(10\), so the second partial product represents \(23\times10=230\). 4. \(92+230=322\).

Answer

a) \(322\) b) The \(1\) is in the tens place, so that row has a value ten times \(23\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 11
Use the written multiplication to write an equivalent distributive equation that uses the place values in the multiplier \(21\). Then evaluate the two terms and show how they combine to make the product.
Figure for problem 554486

Hints

- Rewrite \(21\) by place value before using the rows. - Match each written row to one term of the distributive equation.

Solution

1. The multiplier \(21\) is \(20+1\). 2. Therefore, \(42\times21=(42\times20)+(42\times1)\). 3. The two place-value partial products are \(840\) and \(42\). 4. \(840+42=882\).

Answer

\(42\times21=(42\times20)+(42\times1)=840+42=882\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 12
The multiplier in the written calculation has a zero in the ones place. a) What does the zero partial-product row mean? b) Find the product.
Figure for problem 554487

Hints

- Read both digits of the multiplier, including the zero. - A zero digit contributes a zero partial product. - The \(2\) is in the tens place, so its row has tens-place value.

Solution

1. The calculation is \(36\times20\). 2. The ones digit is \(0\), so \(36\times0=0\); that is why a real zero row appears. 3. The tens digit \(2\) represents \(20\), so the other row represents \(36\times20=720\). 4. The product is \(720\).

Answer

a) It represents \(36\times0=0\). b) \(720\)
Multiply two-digit numbers 13
Find \(14\times23\) by splitting \(23\) into tens and ones. Show both parts and add them. Explain why the tens part uses \(20\), not \(2\).

Hints

- Think of \(23\) as a number of groups. Would two groups and twenty groups give the same total? - What does the place of a digit tell you about its value? - Check whether the two smaller products together count all \(23\) groups.

Solution

1. Split \(23\) into \(20+3\). 2. Find both partial products: \(14\times20=280\) and \(14\times3=42\). 3. Add them: \(280+42=322\). The \(2\) in \(23\) means two tens, so that part is \(14\times20\), not \(14\times2\).

Answer

\(14\times20=280\); \(14\times3=42\); \(14\times23=322\). The \(2\) is in the tens place.
Multiply two-digit numbers 14
Use the table to find \(16\times12\). Each box is the product of its row and column headings. Fill the four boxes, then add them. <table> <tr><th>\(\times\)</th><th>\(10\)</th><th>\(2\)</th></tr> <tr><th>\(10\)</th><td>\(\square\)</td><td>\(\square\)</td></tr> <tr><th>\(6\)</th><td>\(\square\)</td><td>\(\square\)</td></tr> </table>

Hints

- Each heading stands for a part of a two-digit number. Which parts belong to the same factor? - To check a box, look at both headings that meet there. - Make sure the total includes every box exactly once.

Solution

1. The four boxes are \(10\times10=100\), \(10\times2=20\), \(6\times10=60\), and \(6\times2=12\). 2. Add all four parts: \(100+20+60+12=192\). 3. So \(16\times12=192\).

Answer

Top row: \(100\), \(20\). Bottom row: \(60\), \(12\). Product: \(16\times12=192\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 15
Jo calculated \(24\times13\) like this: \(24\times3+24\times1=96\). Explain the mistake and find the correct product.

Hints

- What value does the \(1\) have in the number \(13\)? - Rewrite \(13\) as a sum of tens and ones. - Multiply \(24\) by each part before adding.

Solution

1. In \(13\), the digit \(1\) means one ten, not one one. 2. The two partial products are \(24\times3=72\) and \(24\times10=240\). 3. Add them: \(72+240=312\). The correct product is \(312\).

Answer

Jo multiplied by \(1\) instead of \(10\) for the tens digit. \(24\times13=72+240=312\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 16
When finding \(26\times34\), what product comes from the tens digit of \(34\)? Find that part of the answer and explain its place value.

Hints

- Name the value of the digit \(3\) in \(34\). - Start with the related product \(26\times3\). - Account for the tens place before giving the partial product.

Solution

1. The \(3\) in \(34\) represents \(30\), not \(3\). 2. Multiply \(26\times3=78\), then make this ten times as great: \(26\times30=780\).

Answer

\(780\). The tens digit represents \(30\), so its partial product is \(26\times30\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 17
A rectangle has \(12\) rows with \(11\) squares in each row. Split each row into \(10\) squares and \(1\) square. Write a multiplication equation for each part. Then add the parts to find the total number of squares.

Hints

- Imagine covering each part of the rectangle with rows of counters. - What remains the same in the two smaller rectangles? - Add the two areas and check against the whole rectangle.

Solution

1. Each of the \(12\) rows has \(10\) squares in one part, so that part has \(12\times10=120\) squares. 2. Each row also has \(1\) extra square, so the other part has \(12\times1=12\) squares. 3. Add the two parts: \(120+12=132\) squares.

Answer

\(12\times10=120\) and \(12\times1=12\); \(120+12=132\) squares.
Multiply two-digit numbers 18
Read the written multiplication. What value does the second partial-product row contribute after its place-value shift? Then find the complete product.
Figure for problem 559115

Hints

- Read the two digits of the multiplier separately. - The second row comes from a tens digit, not a ones digit. - Add the actual place values of both rows.

Solution

1. The ones row is \(46\times8=368\). 2. The second row is the basic product \(46\times2=92\), but its \(2\) is in the tens place. The row is worth \(920\). 3. Add the shifted partial products: \(368+920=1288\).

Answer

Second row value: \(920\); complete product: \(46\times28=1288\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 19
A movie theater has \(15\) rows with \(26\) seats in each row. How many seats are there? Show your multiplication using tens and ones.

Hints

- Which number tells the number of equal groups, and which tells the size of each group? - Can a two-digit number of seats be split into easier parts? - Check that your two products together count every seat.

Solution

1. There are \(15\) rows of \(26\) seats, so calculate \(15\times26\). 2. Split \(26\) into \(20+6\). The partial products are \(15\times20=300\) and \(15\times6=90\). 3. Add \(300+90=390\). There are \(390\) seats.

Answer

\(15\times20+15\times6=300+90=390\) seats.
Multiply two-digit numbers 20
A library has \(20\) boxes of bookmarks on one shelf and \(8\) boxes on another. Each box holds \(17\) bookmarks. How many bookmarks are on each shelf and altogether? Show two multiplications and explain why adding their products gives the total.

Hints

- Start by finding the total for one shelf at a time. - How could a multiplication fact involving \(2\) help you work with \(20\) boxes? - Check the final total against the number of boxes on both shelves.

Solution

1. The first shelf has \(20\times17=340\) bookmarks. 2. The second shelf has \(8\times17=136\) bookmarks. 3. Together there are \(340+136=476\) bookmarks. The two shelves hold all \(28\) boxes, so adding their products counts every bookmark once.

Answer

First shelf: \(20\times17=340\) bookmarks. Second shelf: \(8\times17=136\) bookmarks. Altogether: \(340+136=476\) bookmarks. The two products count all the boxes on both shelves, without counting any box twice.
Multiply two-digit numbers 21
Fill in the blanks. In each part, use the products in the first two lines to find the product in the third line. a) \(10 \times 15 = \square\) \(3 \times 15 = \square\) \(13 \times 15 = \square\) b) \(10 \times 17 = \square\) \(7 \times 17 = \square\) \(17 \times 17 = \square\)

Hints

- Look at how the first factor in the third line is made from the first factors in the two lines above it. - Can you add the two partial products? - For \(7 \times 17\), break \(17\) into tens and ones.

Solution

1. For a), \(10 \times 15 = 150\) and \(3 \times 15 = 45\). Since \(13 = 10 + 3\), add the partial products: \(150 + 45 = 195\). 2. For b), \(10 \times 17 = 170\). Also, \(7 \times 17 = 7 \times 10 + 7 \times 7 = 70 + 49 = 119\). Since \(17 = 10 + 7\), add the partial products: \(170 + 119 = 289\).

Answer

a) \(10 \times 15 = 150\), \(3 \times 15 = 45\), \(13 \times 15 = 195\) b) \(10 \times 17 = 170\), \(7 \times 17 = 119\), \(17 \times 17 = 289\)
Multiply two-digit numbers 22
For a school festival, benches are arranged in \(12\) rows with \(24\) seats in each row. How many people can sit on the benches?

Hints

- Break \(12\) and \(24\) into tens and ones. - Use the decomposed parts to label the rows and columns of an area model. - Add all four partial products.

Solution

1. Decompose the factors: \(12 = 10 + 2\) and \(24 = 20 + 4\). 2. Find the four partial products in the area model: \(10 \times 20 = 200\), \(10 \times 4 = 40\), \(2 \times 20 = 40\), and \(2 \times 4 = 8\). 3. Add the partial products: \(200 + 40 + 40 + 8 = 288\).

Answer

A total of \(288\) people can sit on the benches.
Multiply two-digit numbers 23
Calculate each product. a) \(24\times56\) b) \(37\times42\) c) \(58\times19\)

Hints

- Reversing the order of the factors uses the commutative property of multiplication. - Break one factor into tens and ones to find partial products. - The original expression and its reversed expression should have the same value.

Solution

1. For a), \(24 \times 56 = 24 \times 50 + 24 \times 6 = 1200 + 144 = 1344\). Reversing the factors gives \(56 \times 24 = 56 \times 20 + 56 \times 4 = 1120 + 224 = 1344\). 2. For b), \(37 \times 42 = 37 \times 40 + 37 \times 2 = 1480 + 74 = 1554\). Reversing the factors gives \(42 \times 37 = 42 \times 30 + 42 \times 7 = 1260 + 294 = 1554\). 3. For c), \(58 \times 19 = 58 \times 10 + 58 \times 9 = 580 + 522 = 1102\). Reversing the factors gives \(19 \times 58 = 19 \times 50 + 19 \times 8 = 950 + 152 = 1102\).

Answer

a) \(1344\) b) \(1554\) c) \(1102\)
Multiply two-digit numbers 24
Calculate each product. Four expressions have the same value. Which expression does not belong? A: \(28\times45\) B: \(35\times36\) C: \(20\times63\) D: \(42\times30\) E: \(32\times40\)

Hints

- Calculate each product carefully using partial products. - Reverse the order of the factors to check a result. - Compare all five products.

Solution

1. For A, \(28 \times 45 = 28 \times 40 + 28 \times 5 = 1120 + 140 = 1260\). Reversing the factors gives \(45 \times 28 = 45 \times 20 + 45 \times 8 = 900 + 360 = 1260\). 2. For B, \(35 \times 36 = 35 \times 30 + 35 \times 6 = 1050 + 210 = 1260\). Reversing the factors gives \(36 \times 35 = 36 \times 30 + 36 \times 5 = 1080 + 180 = 1260\). 3. For C, \(20 \times 63 = 20 \times 60 + 20 \times 3 = 1200 + 60 = 1260\). Reversing the factors gives \(63 \times 20 = 1260\). 4. For D, \(42 \times 30 = 1260\). Reversing the factors gives \(30 \times 42 = 30 \times 40 + 30 \times 2 = 1200 + 60 = 1260\). 5. For E, \(32 \times 40 = 1280\). Reversing the factors gives \(40 \times 32 = 40 \times 30 + 40 \times 2 = 1200 + 80 = 1280\). 6. Expressions A, B, C, and D equal \(1260\), but expression E equals \(1280\).

Answer

E: \(32 \times 40 = 1280\) does not belong because the other four products equal \(1260\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 25

Market Lane Produce packs \(24\) boxes with \(18\) apples in each box. a) Find the total number of apples packed by each company. b) What do you notice about the totals? Explain why this happens.

Hints

- Write a multiplication expression for each company. - Compare the factors in the two expressions. - What property says that reversing the factors does not change a product?

Solution

1. Green Orchard Produce: \(18\times24=18\times20+18\times4=360+72=432\). 2. Market Lane Produce: \(24\times18=24\times10+24\times8=240+192=432\). 3. The totals are equal because multiplication is commutative: \(18\times24=24\times18\).

Answer

a) Each company packs \(432\) apples. b) The totals are equal because the factors are reversed, and multiplication has the commutative property.
Multiply two-digit numbers 26
Use efficient strategies for these problems. a) Calculate \(24 \times 2\) and \(24 \times 20\). b) Explain how you can use those two products to find \(24 \times 22\). c) Calculate \(24 \times 44\). How is this product related to your answer in part b)?

Hints

- How can you write \(22\) and \(44\) as sums of tens and ones? - Use the distributive property to split a product into easier partial products. - What happens to a product when one factor is doubled?

Solution

1. For a), \(24 \times 2 = 48\) and \(24 \times 20 = 480\). 2. For b), use the distributive property: \(24 \times 22 = 24 \times (20+2)=480+48=528\). 3. For c), \(24 \times 44 = 1056\). Because \(44\) is twice \(22\), the product \(1056\) is twice \(528\).

Answer

a) \(48\) and \(480\) b) Add the two products: \(480+48=528\), so \(24 \times 22=528\). c) \(24 \times 44=1056\). This is twice \(528\) because \(44\) is twice \(22\).
Multiply two-digit numbers 27
Use the digit cards \(2,3,5,6\) exactly once to form two two-digit factors. Which multiplication equation has the greatest product? Explain how you chose the tens digits.

Hints

- Decide which place value has the greatest effect on a two-digit number. - Put the two greatest digits in those places. - Calculate both possible arrangements of the remaining ones digits. - Compare the two products.

Solution

1. To make the factors large, place the two greatest digits, \(6\) and \(5\), in the tens places. 2. The remaining arrangements are \(62\times 53\) and \(63\times 52\). 3. Their products are \(3286\) and \(3276\), respectively. 4. Since \(3286>3276\), the greatest product is \(62\times 53=3286\).

Answer

\(62\times 53=3286\) gives the greatest product. The digits \(6\) and \(5\) belong in the tens places because those places have the greatest effect on the values of the factors.
Multiply two-digit numbers 28
Use the digit cards \(1,2,4,6\) exactly once to form two two-digit factors. Which arrangement gives the smallest product? Calculate the product.

Hints

- Decide whether the tens digits should be large or small. - Place the two smallest digits in the tens places. - Test both arrangements of the remaining digits. - Compare the products.

Solution

1. To make the product small, place the two smallest digits, \(1\) and \(2\), in the tens places. 2. The remaining arrangements are \(14\times 26\) and \(16\times 24\). 3. Their products are \(364\) and \(384\). 4. Therefore, the smallest product is \(14\times 26=364\).

Answer

\(14\times 26=364\) gives the smallest product. The reversed equation \(26\times 14=364\) is equivalent.
Multiply two-digit numbers 29
The product \(12\times 40\) is \(480\). Write three other multiplication equations with a product of \(480\). Change the factors in ways that keep the product unchanged.

Hints

- Try doubling one factor and halving the other. - Try multiplying one factor by \(4\) and dividing the other by \(4\). - Check each new product.

Solution

1. If one factor is divided by a number while the other factor is multiplied by the same number, the product stays unchanged. 2. Halving \(12\) and doubling \(40\) gives \(6\times 80=480\). 3. Doubling \(12\) and halving \(40\) gives \(24\times 20=480\). 4. Multiplying \(12\) by \(4\) and dividing \(40\) by \(4\) gives \(48\times 10=480\).

Answer

One possible answer is: \(6\times 80=480\) \(24\times 20=480\) \(48\times 10=480\)

Consider \(28\times 15\). Which expressions have the same value? a) \(14\times 30\) b) \(56\times 30\) c) \(7\times 60\) d) \(140\times 3\) Justify your choices without fully calculating every product.

Hints

- Compare each new first factor with \(28\). - Compare each new second factor with \(15\). - Decide whether the two factor changes compensate for each other. - Remember that changing both factors in the same direction does not keep the product fixed.

Solution

1. In part a, one factor is halved and the other is doubled, so the product stays unchanged. 2. In part b, both factors are doubled, so the product becomes four times as large. 3. In part c, one factor is divided by \(4\) and the other is multiplied by \(4\), so the product stays unchanged. 4. In part d, one factor is multiplied by \(5\) and the other is divided by \(5\), so the product stays unchanged. 5. Therefore, parts a, c, and d have the same value as \(28\times 15\).

Answer

a), c), and d) have the same value as \(28\times 15\).

A shipment has \(63\) cartons with \(18\) notebooks in each carton. A calculation gives a total of \(1134\) notebooks. Check the result first with an estimate and then with an exact calculation.

Hints

- Round both factors to convenient multiples of ten for the estimate. - For the exact product, use a decomposition of \(18\) that makes multiplication efficient.

Solution

1. Estimate: \(63\approx60\) and \(18\approx20\), so \(60\times20=1200\). A result of \(1134\) is reasonably close to \(1200\). 2. Calculate exactly using \(18=20-2\): \(63\times18=63\times20-63\times2=1260-126=1134\). 3. The exact calculation confirms the stated total.

Answer

The estimate is \(1200\), so \(1134\) is reasonable. The exact calculation \(63\times18=1134\) confirms the result.

Luka looks at the second partial-product row in the written calculation and says, “That row is worth only \(81\) because the digits \(81\) come from \(27\times3\).” Explain the error, state the actual value of that row, and use both partial-product values to verify the final product.
Figure for problem 554488

Hints

- Ask what place value the \(3\) has in \(34\). - Distinguish the unshifted basic product from the value represented by its position in the written layout.

Solution

1. The digit \(3\) in \(34\) is in the tens place, so it represents \(30\), not \(3\). 2. The basic product \(27\times3=81\) is shifted one place left in the written algorithm, so the row represents \(810\). 3. The ones partial product is \(27\times4=108\). 4. \(810+108=918\), which verifies the product.

Answer

The statement is wrong because the \(3\) represents \(30\). The second row represents \(810\), not \(81\). The row values are \(810\) and \(108\), and \(810+108=918\).

One digit is hidden in the tens partial product of the written multiplication. Find the missing digit and state the value of that full partial-product row.
Figure for problem 554489

Hints

- Focus on the multiplier's tens digit. - Compute the basic product before applying the place-value shift. - Distinguish the digits shown in the row from the row's full place-value amount.

Solution

1. The calculation is \(46\times23\). 2. The tens digit of the multiplier is \(2\), so the unshifted basic product is \(46\times2=92\). The hidden digit is \(2\). 3. Because this is the tens row, its value in the full multiplication is \(920\). 4. The other row is \(46\times3=138\), and \(138+920=1058\).

Answer

The missing digit is \(2\), and the full tens partial product is \(920\).

Figure for problem 554490

Hints

- The first row comes from the ones digit of the multiplier. - The second row comes from a tens digit, so its rendered place value is ten times its basic product. - Add the two row values, not just the unshifted strings.

Solution

1. The ones multiplier digit is \(6\), so the first row is \(58\times6=348\). Its missing digit is \(4\). 2. The second basic row is \(58\), but it comes from the tens digit \(1\), so the rendered shift makes its value \(580\). 3. Add the written row values: \(348+580=928\). 4. Therefore the missing final-product digit is \(2\).

Answer

Missing ones-row digit: \(4\), giving \(348\). Second-row value: \(580\). Row addition: \(348+580=928\). Missing final-product digit: \(2\).

- Identify the value of the \(2\) in \(27\). - The tens row is not multiplying by \(2\) ones; it is multiplying by \(2\) tens. - Add the place-value amounts represented by both rows.

Solution

1. The calculation is \(50\times27\). 2. The ones partial product is \(50\times7=350\). 3. The \(2\) in \(27\) represents \(20\), so \(50\times20=1000\). The written layout shifts the basic product \(100\) one place left. 4. \(350+1000=1350\).

Answer

The tens row represents \(1000\), and the product is \(1350\).

The final product row is hidden. Identify what each visible partial-product row represents in place value, then add the shifted rows to find the exact product. Finally compare it with the estimate \(70\times20\).
Figure for problem 554493

Hints

- Do not treat the second visible row as only \(67\); use its tens-place shift. - Add the represented values of the two rows before using the estimate.

Solution

1. The units multiplier digit \(8\) gives the first partial product \(536\). 2. The tens multiplier digit \(1\) gives a basic partial product \(67\), which the English layout shifts to represent \(670\). 3. Add the represented row values: \(536+670=1206\). 4. The estimate \(70\times20=1400\) is in the same general range.

Answer

The first row represents \(67\times8=536\). The second row \(67\) is shifted and represents \(670\). Exact product: \(536+670=1206\). Estimate: \(70\times20=1400\), so \(1206\) is reasonable.

The written multiplication shows \(35\times42\). State the value represented by each partial-product row, then explain how the rows combine to make the final product.
Figure for problem 554494

Hints

- Separate the multiplier into ones and tens. - Translate the second row from its basic product into its shifted place-value amount. - Add the two row values.

Solution

1. The ones row is \(35\times2=70\), so its value is \(70\). 2. The tens row is based on \(35\times4=140\), but the \(4\) represents \(40\), so that row has value \(1400\). 3. \(70+1400=1470\).

Answer

The partial-product values are \(70\) and \(1400\), and the product is \(1470\).

The tens digit of the multiplier and one digit of the final product are hidden. Use the second partial-product row to find the multiplier digit, state the shifted value that row represents, and complete the product.
Figure for problem 554495

Hints

- Which one-digit factor of \(24\) gives the second basic partial product? - That factor occupies the tens place. How does that change the row's value? - Add the shifted row to the ones row.

Solution

1. The second basic partial product is \(96\). Since \(24\times4=96\), the missing tens digit of the multiplier is \(4\). 2. This \(4\) represents \(40\), so its row is worth \(960\), not \(96\). 3. The ones row is worth \(24\times3=72\). Add \(960+72=1032\). 4. The hidden final-product digit is \(3\).

Answer

Hidden multiplier digit: \(4\). Shifted partial product: \(960\). Completed product: \(24\times43=1032\), so the hidden result digit is \(3\).

Aisyah made an error in the tens partial product of the displayed multiplication. Identify the error and give the correct product.
Figure for problem 554497

Hints

- Check the ones and tens basic products separately. - The tens row should use the multiplier digit \(3\). - Correct the row before applying its tens-place shift and adding.

Solution

1. The calculation is \(47\times32\). 2. The ones partial product is \(47\times2=94\), which is correct. 3. The tens partial product should be based on \(47\times3=141\), not \(131\). Because it is the tens row, it represents \(1410\). 4. \(94+1410=1504\).

Answer

The tens basic partial product should be \(141\), and the correct product is \(1504\).

The number \(24\) is multiplied by a hidden two-digit number. The ones-digit partial product is \(96\). The tens-digit partial product is worth \(480\) after shifting. What is the hidden multiplier, and what is the complete product?

Hints

- First find which single digit gives the ones-row product. - Remember that the second row is worth a multiple of ten. - Add the two partial products after identifying both multiplier digits.

Solution

1. Since \(24\times4=96\), the multiplier has \(4\) in the ones place. 2. Since \(24\times20=480\), the multiplier has \(2\) in the tens place. 3. The multiplier is \(24\), and the product is \(96+480=576\).

Answer

Multiplier: \(24\). Complete product: \(24\times24=576\).

Four rectangles are the pieces of one larger rectangular array. Find the area of each piece and the two side lengths of the whole array. What multiplication equation gives its total area? Explain how the two rows of the standard written multiplication give the same total.
Figure for problem 559143

Hints

- Multiply the two labeled side lengths of each rectangle. - Match sides that have the same length when assembling the larger rectangle. - The written method splits one factor into its tens and ones.

Solution

1. The four areas are a) \(10\times10=100\), b) \(3\times10=30\), c) \(10\times2=20\), and d) \(3\times2=6\). 2. Place the pieces into a larger rectangle: its sides are \(10+2=12\) and \(10+3=13\). Its area is \(100+30+20+6=156\), so \(12\times13=156\). 3. In standard written multiplication, \(12\times3=36\) is the ones row and \(12\times10=120\) is the tens row. Their sum is also \(156\).

Answer

Areas: a) \(100\), b) \(30\), c) \(20\), d) \(6\) square units. Whole rectangle: \(12\) by \(13\); \(12\times13=156\) square units. Written rows: \(30+6=36\) for multiplying by \(3\), and \(100+20=120\) for multiplying by \(10\). The two written rows add to \(156\), the same as the four rectangle pieces.

The factors are \(25\) and \(12\). a) Find their product. b) What happens to the product if you double the first factor and divide the second factor by \(2\)? c) What happens to the original product if you double both factors?

Hints

- Calculate the original product first. - Write the changed factors for each part. - Compare each new product with the original product. - Think about how multiplying or dividing a factor changes a product.

Solution

1. For a), \(25 \times 12=300\). 2. For b), the new factors are \(25 \times 2=50\) and \(12 \div 2=6\). Their product is \(50 \times 6=300\), so the product is unchanged. 3. For c), the new factors are \(50\) and \(24\). Their product is \(50 \times 24=1200\), which is \(4\) times the original product. Doubling both factors multiplies the product by \(2 \times 2=4\).

Answer

a) The product is \(300\). b) The product stays the same: \(300\). c) The product becomes \(4\) times as great: \(1200\).

A landscaper buys \(40\) bags of sand for \(\$160\). One bag of specialty soil costs \(12\) times as much as one bag of sand. The landscaper needs \(35\) bags of specialty soil and pays a \(\$45\) delivery fee. What is the total cost of the specialty soil and delivery?

Hints

- Use a multiplication fact to find the price of one bag of sand. - Use the multiplicative comparison to find the soil price per bag. - Find the cost of all soil bags, then add delivery.

Solution

1. Since \(40 \times \$4 = \$160\), one bag of sand costs \(\$4\). 2. One bag of specialty soil costs \(12 \times \$4 = \$48\). 3. The specialty soil costs \(35 \times \$48 = \$1680\). 4. With delivery, the total is \(\$1680 + \$45 = \$1725\).

Answer

The specialty soil and delivery cost \(\$1725\) altogether.

Find the missing digits so that the multiplication equation is true: \(2\square \times 14 = \square22\)

Hints

- Start with the ones digit of the product. - Find digits whose product with \(4\) ends in \(2\). - Test each possible two-digit factor completely.

Solution

1. The ones digit of the product is \(2\). The missing ones digit in \(2\square\), when multiplied by \(4\), must therefore produce a product ending in \(2\). The possible digits are \(3\) and \(8\). 2. Test \(3\): \(23 \times 14 = 322\), which has the required form. 3. Test \(8\): \(28 \times 14 = 392\), which does not have the required form. 4. Both missing digits are \(3\).

Answer

\(23 \times 14 = 322\)

Several digits are hidden in the written multiplication. Determine every hidden digit and give the completed calculation.
Figure for problem 554496

Hints

- Start with the ones partial product because it is not shifted. - Use the final digit \(6\) and the multiplier digit \(4\) to constrain the hidden multiplicand digit. - After recovering the multiplicand, recompute both partial products and the sum.

Solution

1. The multiplicand is \(6\square\), and the multiplier is \(24\). 2. The ones partial product comes from multiplying by \(4\). The pattern \(2\square6\) must be \(256\), so the multiplicand is \(64\). 3. Then \(64\times2=128\), so the second basic partial product is \(128\), representing \(1280\) in the tens row. 4. \(256+1280=1536\).

Answer

The completed calculation is \(64\times24=1536\), with basic partial products \(256\) and \(128\).

One digit in each factor is hidden. Use the two partial products to determine both missing digits.
Figure for problem 554498

Hints

- Use the tens partial product first because its multiplier digit \(2\) is visible. - Recover the multiplicand before solving for the hidden ones digit of the multiplier. - Check both partial products against the completed factors.

Solution

1. The tens basic partial product is \(96\), and it comes from multiplying the multiplicand by \(2\). Therefore, the multiplicand is \(48\). 2. The ones basic partial product is \(240\). Since \(48\times5=240\), the hidden ones digit of the multiplier is \(5\). 3. The completed factors are \(48\) and \(25\), and \(48\times25=1200\).

Answer

The missing digits are \(4\) and \(5\). The completed calculation is \(48\times25=1200\).

Two students split \(18\times24\) in different ways. Maya uses \(18\times(20+4)\). Eli uses \((10+8)\times24\). Find each student's two partial products. Explain why both methods give the same total.

Hints

- Check that each split still adds to the original factor. - Each partial product counts a different part of the same rectangular array. - Explain why neither arrangement leaves out or repeats a part.

Solution

1. Maya gets \(18\times20=360\) and \(18\times4=72\), totaling \(432\). 2. Eli gets \(10\times24=240\) and \(8\times24=192\), also totaling \(432\). 3. Maya splits the \(24\) columns into \(20\) and \(4\). Eli splits the \(18\) rows into \(10\) and \(8\). Both methods count the same \(18\times24\) array without missing or repeating squares.

Answer

Maya: \(360+72=432\). Eli: \(240+192=432\). Both splits count every square in the same \(18\times24\) rectangle, just in different directions.

Find the missing digits in the multiplication equation: \(\square7\times2\square=851\)

Hints

- Use the ones digit of the product to constrain the missing ones digit in the second factor. - Then separate the contribution from the visible \(7\) in the first factor. - Ask what multiple of \(10\) times the completed second factor supplies the rest of the product.

Solution

1. The ones digit of the product is \(1\). Since the first factor ends in \(7\), the second factor must end in \(3\), because \(7\times3\) ends in \(1\). So the second factor is \(23\). 2. The contribution from the ones digit of the first factor is \(7\times23=161\). 3. The remaining contribution is \(851-161=690\). Since \(30\times23=690\), the tens part of the first factor is \(30\). 4. Therefore the first factor is \(37\), and \(37\times23=851\).

Answer

\(37\times23=851\)
