Question

Explain how you can use a model to find 6x17

Answer 1

Maybe by useing cubes like 6 groups of 17 or u can also use a number line like the elementary skills

Answer 2

The required model is shown below:

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to use partial products model to solve 6×17

The partial product is the product of parts of each factor.

Here Multiplicand is 6 and Multiplier is 17

We can rewrite 17 as 1 ten and 7 ones. i.e 17=10+7

Therefore,

6×17 = 6(10+7)

6×17 = 6×10+6×7 [Distributive property]

6×17 = 60+42 = 102

Hence, the required model is shown below:
