Question

Jean is multiplying 6 x 39. She decides to multiply 6 x 30 first, then add on 6 x 9. What property is Jean using to solve the problem? Her procedure would look like this mathematically

Answer 1

Answer:

Jean would add both results to get the final result of the multiplication of 6 x 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x39 = 234

if the 3 in 39 is in the tenth position, then 6 x30 = 180

the number 9 in 39 stands as just 9, so, 6 x 9 = 54

The final multiplication of 6 and 39 = 180 + 54 = 234
