Amanda is making xookies for a charity event. She expects 10 people to come. She wants to have 3 cookies for each person. How can Amanda use a patter to find the product for 6 x 10?

To find the product of 6 x 10, Amanda can use a pattern called repeated addition. Since Amanda wants to make 3 cookies for each person, she can add 6 groups of 3 cookies together.

First, she can start by adding 3 cookies to itself once: 3 + 3 = 6.

Then, she can add another set of 3 cookies to the previous result: 6 + 3 = 9.

Next, she can add another set of 3 cookies: 9 + 3 = 12.

She can continue this pattern until she has added 3 cookies a total of 10 times.

6 x 3 = 18,
9 x 3 = 27,
12 x 3 = 36,
15 x 3 = 45,
18 x 3 = 54,
21 x 3 = 63,
24 x 3 = 72,
27 x 3 = 81,
30 x 3 = 90, and
33 x 3 = 99.

So, Amanda can find the product of 6 x 10 by adding 3 cookies a total of 10 times, which gives her 30 cookies.
