It seems you are trying to illustrate a method for multiplying two numbers, 27 and 14, by breaking down the multiplication into smaller steps. Let's clarify and refine those steps:

  1. Break down the multiplication: You have 27 (which is 20 + 7) and 14 (which is 10 + 4).

  2. Multiply each component:

    • \( 27 \times 10 = 270 \)
    • \( 27 \times 4 = 108 \)
  3. Add these results together:

    • \( 270 + 108 = 378 \)

So, you can say that after breaking it down step by step, we can now see that the product of 27 and 14 is indeed 378.

If you want to express it in a fill-in-the-blank format:

  • Now we can ____ add the products together.

Thus the final solution is:

The product of 27 and 14 is 378.
