Final answer:

To multiply two-digit numbers, align them by place value, multiply each digit of one number by each digit of the other number, arrange the results properly and then add them together for your final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

How to Multiply Two-Digit Numbers

Multiplying two-digit numbers involves several steps of multiplication and addition. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Write the numbers vertically and align the digits by place value.
  2. Multiply the digit in the one's place of the bottom number by each digit of the top number, starting with the one's place.
  3. Write the result below the line, aligning the last digit of this result with the digit in the bottom number that you used to multiply.
  4. Then move to the digit in the tens place of the bottom number and repeat the multiplication steps, remembering to align the results one place to the left.
  5. Add the two results together to get the final answer.

Note: When you multiply by the tens digit, remember to carry any extra tens over to the next place value.

Line the numbers up by place value. Regroup 12 into 1 ten and 2 ones. Add the 1 ten you regrouped. Because the 2 represents tens, the numbers will start in the tens column.
Hope this helps
