Question

Is 5,521 a reasonable answer for 218x12

Answer 1

No- 218 * 12 = 2616.

Multiply with an algorithm and add the partial products up to check. You don't get 5,521 when you multiply 218 * 12.

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Without even answering 218*12 it is obvious this is the wrong answer

the last digit of each number determines the last digit in the answer

218 has 8 as the last number and 12 has 2

multiply them together

2*8 is 16

the last digit is 6 and not 1
