3. Place the number from Step 2 between the two digits. If the number from
Step 2 is greater than 9, put the one's digit in the space and carry the ten's
digit.
Examples: 72 x 11 = 792.
57 x 11 = 5 _ 7, but 5 + 7 = 12, so put 2 in the space and add the 1 to the 5 to get

You've got 210 pieces of pizza and want to know whether or not you can split
them evenly within your group. Rather than whip out the calculator, use these
simple shortcuts to do the math in your head:
Everyone knows you can count on your fingers. Did you realize you can use
them for multiplication? A simple way to do the "9" multiplication table is to
place both hands in front of you with fingers and thumbs extended. To multiply
9 by a number, fold down that number finger, counting from the left.
Examples: To multiply 9 by 5, fold down the fifth finger from the left. Count
fingers on either side of the "fold" to get the answer. In this case, the answer is
45.
To multiply 9 times 6, fold down the sixth finger, giving an answer of 54.
