Question

How do you evaluate `93\times 58`?

Answer 1

Use the distributive property 5394 is the answer.

Explanation:

93 can be rewritten as 90 + 3

58 can be rewritten as 50 + 8

The problem can be rewritten as

`( 90 + 3) xx ( 50 + 8)` So the problem as four parts

1. `90 xx 50= 4500`

2. `90 xx 8 = 720`

3. `3 xx 50 = 150`

4. `3 xx 8 = 24`

Now add all four of these together

`4500 + 720 + 150 + 24 = 5394`
