Question

A hospital has 46 bottles of aspirin and each bottle contains 275 tablets. How many tablets does the hospital have in all?

Answer 1

`12,650` tablets

Explanation:

When writing the equation out, always put the larger number on top. Then, multiply the numbers in the ones spot:

`6*5=30`

Under the line you put the `0` in the ones spot and add then put the `3` above the tens spot and add them to the next equation which is:

`6*7=42 +3 =45`

Now, keep multiplying along the `275` with `6` until there are no more numbers to multiply and then add the remaining numbers in front.
Repeat these steps with the `4` in `46` and put the numbers you get under the first numbers. Put a `0` or an X in the ones spot under. Add the two numbers together and now you got `12,650` tablets. See picture below:
