- so would this question be right? 50x4=200?(7 votes)
- Yes, you're right.
Here are my steps, broken down:
50 ×4
5×10 ×4
Here you can switch the order of the numbers due to the commutative property:
5×4×10
We know 5×4=20, so 5×4 ×10 = 200.(6 votes)
- isnt 90 times 5 the same as adding 90 5 times?(6 votes)
- Multiplication is just that.(2 votes)
- so am I right 500x4=2,000(4 votes)
- yessssssssssssss sirrrrr(1 vote)
- UM everyone knows that you're a human unless you're an NPC (bot) which is not needed(4 votes)
- You know multiple right 😨(3 votes)
- Guys does 70 times 5 equal 7 times 5 (which is 35) plus a 0 at the end?(2 votes)
- Yes. You can solve that way too (not add zero add x10). You will get the same answer🫠(1 vote)
- Sal is better make Sal in more videos(2 votes)
- i want to see what he looks like RIGHT NOW(1 vote)
- did you know about ! in math(1 vote)
- bro this is teaching me a lot of things(1 vote)
Video transcript
- [Voiceover] A volunteer
group is planting trees at five different parks. They planted 90 trees at each park. How many trees did the group plant in all? Here's what we know, we know that this group went
to five different parks, very kind of them, and planted 90 trees
at each of those parks. If we want to know the total amount, we could do a couple things. We could say they planted
90 trees at park one, plus 90 more at park two, plus, you see where this is
going, 90 more at park three, plus 90 more at park four, and finally 90 more at park five. One way to solve this would
be to add all those 90s. We could do it, it'll take a
while, but we could get there. Or, we could say that the
group planted 90 trees, five times. Five times, they planted 90 trees. So, 90 times five. Let's solve both of these. Either are great ways
to get to our solution, but maybe solving both of 'em will help us see if we
liked one way better or if one felt simpler for us. So, 90, the number 90 we can think of as nine 10s, I'll write that up there, and that'll help us add nine 10s plus nine 10s is 18 10s, plus nine more 10s is 27 10s, plus nine more 10s is 36 10s, and the last nine 10s
gets us 45 10s, or 450. That zero is because
we're talking about 10s, 45 10s, or 450. The group planted 450 trees. Let's try the multiplication
way and see how that goes. Again, 90 10 90, we could
think of as nine 10s times five, so if you
have nine 10s five times, you have 45 10s, and 45 10s is again 450. Get that zero on the end. Both ways, we see this
is a very generous group. They planted 450 trees. Either way, we could add
or we could multiply, for me, the multiplication
gets me there faster. I like the multiplication
way, but either way, we can see 90 trees at five
parks is 450 total trees.
