Question

Calculate the product of $1,250\times 2$ using the area model.

• A. $2,410$
• B. $2,500$
• C. $2,000$
• D. $2,400$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2,500$

$1,250=1,000+200+50$
$\left(TH\right)\left(H\right)\left(T\right)1,250\times 2=(1,000+200+50)\times 2$


Hence, $1,250\times 2=(1,000+200+50)\times 2=2,000+400+100=2,500.$
