Solve the Multiplication Problem: Calculate 35×4

Question

$35\times4=$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's use the distributive law

00:07 Let's break down 35 into 30 plus 5

00:12 Let's multiply each factor separately, then add

00:24 Let's solve each multiplication and then sum

00:33 And this is the solution to the question

In order to simplify the resolution process, we divide the number 35 into a smaller addition exercise.

It is easier to choose round whole numbers, hence the following calculation:

$(30+5)\times4=$

We then multiply each of the terms inside of the parentheses by 4:

$(4\times30)+(4\times5)=$ Lastly we solve the exercises inside of the parentheses:

$120+20=140$
