Question

Someone please help. Explain why it might be easier to solve the multiplication problem by changing it from this: 5×98×2 , to this: 5×2×98 . Use a property of multiplication to justify your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Because it is easy to multiply 5 by 2 which is 10......and then 10 × 98 youbjust have to add 0 to 98.....which will be 980

Answer 2

It’s much easier to do 5x2 which is 10 and then multiply 10x98. It’s much harder to do 5x98 and then multiply that big number by 2.
