Question

Write the steps for finding 50x30 by factoring the tens

Answer 1

Step 1, we are going to factor the tens:
`(5)(10)(3)(10)`
Step 2. we are going to separately multiply the factored terms and the tens:

`[(5)(3)][(10)(10)]`

`(15)(100)`
Step 2, multiply the tow products:

`(15)(100)=1500`
