Answer 1

The correct choice to find 250 × 15 using partial products is 2,500 + 1,250 which is option C. We achieve this by breaking down 15 into 10 and 5 and multiplying each by 250 to get the partial products and then adding them together to get the total product of 3750.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which choice correctly shows how to use partial products to find the product of 250 × 15. To solve this, we need to break down 15 into 10 and 5 and multiply each by 250 separately, and then sum the results:

• 250 × 10 = 2500 (This is the first partial product.)
• 250 × 5 = 1250 (This is the second partial product.)

Now, we add both partial products together:

2500 + 1250 = 3750

Therefore, the correct choice that shows how to use partial products to find 250 × 15 is:

A. 1,250 + 1,250 Incorrect
B. 2,500 + 150 Incorrect
C. 2,500 + 1,250 Correct
D. 1,250 + 2,500 Incorrect
