Question

Find the product of 27×60 then explain how you would use mental math to find the product of 27×600

Answer 1

27x6
162

27x60
1620

27x600=
16200

the product will be 16200 because 60x10 is equal to 600
27x60 is 1620 you also multiply it by 10

Answer 2

Answer:

$27\times 60=1620$

$27\times 600=16200$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the product of $27\times 60$ and then product of $27\times 600$.    

$27\times 60=1620$

We can use this result to find the product of $27\times 600$. We can see that in product of $27\times 60$, there is one zero after 6. In product of $27\times 600$, there are two zero after 6.

We can represent the second product as:

$27\times 60\times 10$

Substitute result from 1st product as:

$1620\times 10$

$16200$

Therefore, the product of $27\times 600$ would be 10 times more than product of $27\times 60$.
