Question

Emma wants to use compensation to find 6×509 . Which of the following can she use to find the correct answer? (1 point) Responses 6×509=6×(600−1) 6 × 509 = 6 × ( 600 - 1 ) 6×509=(6×500)+(6×9) 6 × 509 = ( 6 × 500 ) + ( 6 × 9 ) 6×509=(6×500)+(6+9) 6 × 509 = ( 6 × 500 ) + ( 6 + 9 ) 6×509=6×(600−9) 6 × 509 = 6 × ( 600 - 9 )

Answer 1

Emma can use the following expression to find the correct answer using compensation:

6 × 509 = 6 × (600 - 1)

This choice correctly breaks down 509 into 600 - 1, making the calculation easier while still maintaining the same value.

So the correct response is: 6×509=6×(600−1).
