How Many Ways Can You Solve 16 x 13?

Today in class, we looked at different ways we could solve multiplication problems when we did not automatically know the multiplication combination. One problem we looked closely at was 14 x 12. Mr. Jones had purchased 14 dozen bagels, and it was our job to determine how many bagels he had purchased.

We broke up the numbers in so many different ways.


Let's think about the problem 16 x 13. How many different ways can you think of to break up these numbers to multiply them? Post your ideas here!

  1. 13x10=130
    6x13=78
    130 plus 78=208
    208 in all

  2. How about 16 x 13 =
    8 x 2 x 13 =
    8 x 26 =

    8 x 20 = 160
    8 x 6 = 48

    160 + 48 = 208

  3. What about 16x13=

    10x13=130
    6x10=60
    6x3=18

    130+60=190
    190+18=208
