Question

owens says to find 3×52 using compensation he can multiply 3 ×50 and then subtract 6. is owen correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Owen is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Owen says to find $3 \times 52$.

This can be done easily by splitting $52$

i.e., $3 \times 52 = 3 \times (\ 50 + 2 )$

This means we should multiply $3 and 50$ and then add it to $3 \times 2 = 6$

So, we should add it to $6$ and not subtract.
