Solve 74×13: Identifying the Correct Multiplication Breakdown

Question

$74\times13=$

Which of the expressions represents a correct breakdown of the exercise above?

00:00 Find the expression that represents the correct factorization of the exercise

00:03 Let's use the distributive law

00:07 Let's break down 74 into 80 minus 6

00:10 Let's multiply each factor and then subtract

00:17 And this is the solution to the question

First, we break down 74 into a subtraction exercise as follows:

$(80-6)\times13=$

Next we multiply each of the terms inside the parentheses by 13 and obtain the following:

$80\times13-6\times13$

$80\times13-6\times13$
