Question

owens says to find 3×52 using compensation he can multiply 3 ×50 and then subtract 6. is owen correct?

Answer 1

Owen is not correct.

Explanation:

Owen says to find
`$ 3 * 52 $`.

This can be done easily by splitting
`$ 52 $`

i.e.,
`$ 3 * 52 = 3 * (\ 50 + 2  )\ $`

This means we should multiply
`$ 3 $ and $ 50 $` and then add it to
`$ 3 * 2 = 6 $`

So, we should add it to
`$ 6 $` and not subtract.
