Key Concepts
- Use partial products
- Use the standard algorithm
What are the 3-digit numbers?
100 to 999 are the 3-digit numbers.
100 is the smallest 3-digit number.
999 is the largest 3-digit number.
How to multiply a 3-digit number with a 2-digit number?
- Multiply by the number in the ones place.
- Put a zero below in the ones place.
- Multiply by the number in the tens place.
- Add them up.
For example, 324 × 46

Use partial products
Example 1:
In an auditorium, there are 493 rows with 14 seats in each row. How many seats are available?

Solution:
Multiply 493 × 14

6, 902 seats are available.
Example 2:
Lenin bought a school bag. A bag cost is $ 236. Find the cost of 47 such bags?

Solution:
Multiply 236 × 47

47 bags cost $11,092.
Use the standard algorithm
Example 1:
Charmin took her 735 students to the cricket stadium. Admission for each student was $24. What was the total amount of money needed?

Solution:
Step 1: To use the standard algorithm, first multiply by the ones, regroup as needed.

4 × 5 ones= 20 ones or 2 tens
4 × 3 tens = 12 tens
12 tens + 2 tens = 14 tens.
14 tens = 1 hundred 4 tens.
4 × 7 hundred = 28 hundreds.
28 hundred + 1 hundred = 29 hundred.
Step 2: Multiply by the tens regroup as needed.

20 × 5 ones =100 ones
20 × 3 tens = 60 tens or 6 hundred.
20 × 7 hundreds = 140 hundreds or 14 thousand.
Step 3: Add to get the final product

$17, 640 amount was needed.
Example 2:
Robert ordered 134 boxes of magnetics. There were 35 magnetic balls in each box. How many magnetic balls did he order?

Solution:
Step 1: To use the standard algorithm, first multiply by the ones, regroup as needed.

5 × 4 ones= 20 ones or 2 tens
5 × 3 tens = 15 tens
15 tens + 2 tens = 17 tens.
17 tens = 1 hundred 7 tens.
5 × 1 hundred = 5 hundreds.
5 hundred + 1 hundred = 6 hundred.
Step 2: Multiply by the tens regroup as needed.

30 × 4 ones =120 ones
30 × 3 tens = 90 tens or 9 hundred.
30 × 1 hundreds = 30 hundreds or 3 thousand.
3 thousand +1 thousand = 4 thousands.
Step 3: Add to get the final product.

Step 3: Add to get the final product.
He ordered 4,690 magnetic balls.
