Question

Lydia also likes using the standard algorithm for multiplication. She has to solve 32 x 8.25. Recommend another strategy to Lydia, and show her how to use that strategy to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

We can use distributive law for the multiplication

And after multiplication result will be 264

Step-by-step explanation:

Lydia has to multiply 32×8.25

She is using standard algorithm of multiplication

Now we have to find the other way of multiplication of  32×8.25

We can use distributive law for the multiplication of the above number

We can write 8.25 as 8+0.25

So multiplication will become 32 ( 8+0.25 ) = 256 + 8 = 264

So after multiplication result will be 264
