Question

which choice correctly shows to use partial products to find 250 x 15

1,250 + 150
2,500 + 150
1,250 + 1,250
1,250 + 2,500

Answer 1

To use partial products to find \( 250 \times 15 \), you can break down the numbers as follows:

1. Split \( 15 \) into \( 10 + 5 \).
2. Then, calculate:
- \( 250 \times 10 = 2500 \)
- \( 250 \times 5 = 1250 \)

Now, to find the total, you would add these two products together:

\[
2500 + 1250
\]

Thus, the correct choice that shows the use of partial products for \( 250 \times 15 \) is:

**2,500 + 1,250** with those products being \( 2500 \) and \( 1250 \).

So, the best representation listed would be **2,500 + 1,250** (note that this exact option isn't listed in your choices). However, the form of addition that makes the most sense based on how we derived it is indeed:

- \( 2,500 + 1,250 \).

Make sure you check if any slight wording on your answer options may have changed.
