Explain how [tex]9 \times 4[/tex] can help you find [tex]9 \times 8[/tex].

Asked by sadgirl

Answer (3)

If you take 9x4 you get 36 and multiply that by 2 (it's 2 because 4x2 is 8) you get 72
If you take 9x8 you get 72

It can help you explain 9x8 because 9x4 equals 36. 4 is the half of 8. So you would do 36 + 36 which equals the product of 9x8=72.

You can find 9 × 8 by using 9 × 4 since 8 is double 4 . First, calculate 9 × 4 = 36 and then double it to get 9 × 8 = 72 . This method illustrates that understanding smaller multiplication facts can simplify finding larger ones.
