00:18 Let's multiply each factor separately and sum
00:33 Let's solve each multiplication and then sum
00:47 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To make solving easier, we break down 560 into more comfortable numbers, preferably round ones.

We obtain:

3×(500+60)= 3\times(500+60)=

We multiply 3 by each of the terms in parentheses:

(3×500)+(3×60)= (3\times500)+(3\times60)=

We solve the exercises in parentheses and obtain:

1,500+180=1,680 1,500+180=1,680

Answer

1680
