Another way to write 9 x 200

Answer 1

200+200+200+200+200+200+200+200+200

Answer 2

Answer:

Since, Multiplication is a shortcut for addition.

Use of Distributive Property is the most familiar alternative way to write 9 x 200.

Distributive Property states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, then the  first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately i.e,

$a \times (b+c) =a\times b +a\times c$

9 x 200

First replace 200 as 100+100 then, we have

$9 \times (100+100)$

Now, using distributive property above:

9 x 200 = $9 \times (100+100) =(9 \times 100)+ (9 \times 100)$ = 900+900 =1800.
