To fill in the blanks, let's break down the multiplication of 22 by 3 step by step.

First, we write the numbers in the standard multiplication method:

  22
x  3
-----

Now, we will line up the digits correctly.

Next, we can find the product by multiplying each digit of 22 by the digit 3:

  1. Multiply the tens place (20) by 3:
    • (20) x 3 = 60
  2. Multiply the ones place (2) by 3:
    • (2) x 3 = 6

Now, we can add these two results together: 60 + 6 = 66.

The completed multiplication looks like this:

  22
x  3
-----
  66

Now, to write the problem in expanded form:

(20 + 2) x 3

Breaking it down further:

  • For the tens place: (20 x 3)
  • For the ones place: (2 x 3)

So, the expanded form would be: (20 x 3) + (2 x 3)

When you simplify this: 60 + 6

Finally, completing the blanks:

66

Now, write the problem in expanded form.
(20 + 2) x 3
(20 x 3) + (2x3)
60 + 6
