Explain how to use the area model to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number.
Explain how to use the area model to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number.
To use the area model, you can draw a rectangle representing the two-digit number and divide it into tens and ones. Then, you can partition the one-digit number and distribute it across the tens and ones, and finally, calculate the area of each part and add them together.
Describe the distributive property and how it can be applied to multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.
Describe the distributive property and how it can be applied to multiplication of two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. When multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number, the distributive property can be used to break down the two-digit number into its tens and ones, and then distribute the one-digit number across those parts, allowing for easier multiplication and addition of the resulting products.
Explain the steps to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number using the distributive property.
Explain the steps to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number using the distributive property.
To multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number using the distributive property, first break down the two-digit number into tens and ones. Then, distribute the one-digit number across the tens and ones. Finally, multiply the one-digit number by each part of the two-digit number and add the products together to find the final result.
