Question

Which of the following gives the values of s and t when we multiply 50 and 16 using area model?

• A. 300, 400
• B. 300, 800
• C. 500, 300
• D. 500, 30

Answer 1

The correct option is B 300, 800

From the given area model,

50 $\times$ 16 = 50 $\times$ (10 + 6)

= 50 $\times$ 10 + 50 $\times$ 6

= 500 + 300

= 800

Hence, the value of s is 300 and
t is 800.
