1- Michael used addition to find 8*100 and he said product is 80. What did he do wrong?
my son did it- the product is not 80 it's 800. 8*100=800
Your son is right. He multiplied the two numbers.
thank you very much
You're very welcome.
Yes, your son did it right.
Explain how you would write the number that is 2 tens more than 53
Michael made a mistake while using addition to find the product of 8 * 100. To calculate a product, you need to use multiplication, not addition.
To correctly find the product of 8 * 100, you should multiply 8 by 100.
Here's the step-by-step process for getting the correct answer:
1. Multiply the ones place:
- Multiply 8 by 0 (since there is a zero in the ones place of 100) to get 0.
2. Multiply the tens place:
- Multiply 8 by 0 (since there is also a zero in the tens place of 100) to get 0.
3. Write the partial products together:
- Combine the results from step 1 and step 2 to get 800.
Therefore, the correct answer to 8 * 100 is 800, not 80.
