8-3 Multiplying 2-Digit Numbers by Multiples of 10 Find the product of 60 and 26.
One way to find 60 26 is to use a grid.
Show 60 rows with 26 squares in each row.
Break apart 26 into tens and ones: 26 = 20 + 6.
Draw a vertical line on the grid to separate the
grid into two sections. Label one section 60 20. Label the other section 60 6.
Multiply to find the partial products:
60 20 = 1,200 and 60 6 = 360.
Add the partial products:
1,200 + 360 = 1,560. So, 60 26 = 1,560.
A shorter way to find 60 26 3
is to multiply 6 tens 26 by using 26 Record 0 in the ones place the standard algorithm. 60 of the product. Then find 6 tens 26. The product is 1,560 156 tens or 1,560.
