Question

How can you use a model to find 6 × 17

Answer 1

you can use an array then count all the dots inside it for example
6x17
=================
=================
=================
=================
=================
=================
count all of them and its 102

Answer 2

We can use partial products model to solve 6×17

here Multiplicand =6

Multiplier=17

First break Multiplier (17) into 1 ten and 7 ones as

17=10+7

Then Multiply 6 to both of the parts of 17 then add it,

6×17

=6(10+7)

=6×10+6×7 [Distributive property]

=60+42=102

• Partial Product is a product obtained by multiplying the multiplicand by one digit of the multiplier when the multiplier has more than one digit.
