Sure, let’s solve the problem of multiplying [tex]\(55\)[/tex] by [tex]\(2\)[/tex] step-by-step.
1. Write down the numbers:
- We have [tex]\(55\)[/tex] and [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
2. Multiply the units place values:
- In the number [tex]\(55\)[/tex], the digit in the units place is [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
- In the number [tex]\(2\)[/tex], the digit in the units place is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
- [tex]\(5 \times 2 = 10\)[/tex].
3. Multiply the tens place values and add the carry from step 2:
- In [tex]\(55\)[/tex], the digit in the tens place is [tex]\(5\)[/tex].
- Multiply the tens place digit of [tex]\(55\)[/tex] by [tex]\(2\)[/tex] and add [tex]\(1\)[/tex] from the previous carry:
- [tex]\(5 \times 2 = 10\)[/tex].
- Add the carry (1): [tex]\(10 + 1 = 11\)[/tex].
4. Combine the products:
- The multiplication gave us [tex]\(10\)[/tex] from the units place and [tex]\(11\)[/tex] from the tens place.
- Writing the units place [tex]\(0\)[/tex] and appending the result from the tens place calculation [tex]\(11\)[/tex]:
- We get [tex]\(110\)[/tex].
Thus, the product of [tex]\(55\)[/tex] and [tex]\(2\)[/tex] is [tex]\(110\)[/tex].
