Answer:

The product is 4,821

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We have to multiply an expression using mental maths.

We can expand the numbers and use the distributive property to do so.

  • The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
  • It help us to perform complex multiplication problem easily.

  • a*(b+c) = (a* b) + (a* c)

The solving is shown below:


3* (1607)\\=3* (1000 + 600 + 7)\\=(3* 1000) + (3* 600) + (3* 7)\\=3000 + 1800 + 21\\=4821

The product is 4,821
